Collected Stories - 2010 Broadway History , Info & More

Tony Award winner Linda Lavin and director Lynne Meadow, who collaborated on MTC’s The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife, reunite for a new production of Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies' celebrated drama. Collected Stories chronicles the relationship between two female writers: Ruth Steiner (Lavin), a celebrated New York author with a dry wit and a distinguished career; and her bright-eyed young protégé, Lisa Morrison. As their relationship evolves and the line between fact and fiction starts to blur, their fascinating story comes to an explosive conclusion.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Collected Stories

Collected Stories
9 / 10

Margulies' play certainly is schematic -- the audience pretty much sees where it's going right from the beginning -- but his characterizations are so incisive and his dialogue so rich that one hardly minds. The details of the New York literary scene are rendered with a rich authenticity; there's plenty of in-the-know name dropping, and the play gets one of its biggest laughs with a simple re-creation of the iconic 92nd Street Y logo.

'Collected Stories,' starring Linda Lavin
8 / 10

Little wonder that, for the third time since 1997, a New York theater has turned to 'Collected Stories.' Donald Margulies' drama delivers an engrossing, if somewhat schematic, couple of hours with just a single set and two actors. What sets this play apart from dozens of others with identical descriptions, however, is that the characters are interesting, intelligent women, for a change.'
