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.

Lavin Bellows at Paulson’s Writer in ‘Stories’: Jeremy Gerard
3 / 10
Margulies offers no reason to believe that either Ruth or Lisa has ever written a word worth publishing. The gifted director, Lynne Meadow, indulges Lavin, who mutters, mugs, winces and sneers along with the yelling, as Paulson recedes into the attractive clutter of Santo Loquasto’s lovely faded facsimile of a Greenwich Village floor-through.
Collected Stories
5 / 10
If Donald Margulies were a novelist, he'd churn out airport fiction, like John Grisham or Michael Crichton: popular, but not to be confused with art. Now Manhattan Theatre Club has revived Margulies’ 'Collected Stories,' a 1996 two-hander set in the world of genuine literature. It’s skillful, diverting stuff, but essentially, light reading.
