Collected Stories

Collected Stories is a two-character drama that takes an intimate look at the lives of a pair of writers, focusing on their friendship, ambitions, conflicts, rivalries and betrayals. Ruth Steiner, played by Co-Artistic Director Kim Tobin-Lehl, is an established scribe from Greenwich Village in New York. Famous for her short stories, she wants to share her knowledge and passion with the next generation of young and hungry authors. But when Lisa Morrison arrives, Ruth may have got more than she bargained for in this intense and funny play about art and the creative process. The Hollywood Reporter says: "As usual Margulies holds the rich ore of his material up to the light so that it sends beams in every direction ... always fluid and lively, the play is thick with ideas, like a stockpot of good stew."
