When the line between fact and fiction blurs, whose story is it anyway?

Pulitzer Prize nominated "Collected Stories" depicts the conflict between an established writer and her ambitious student who becomes a protégé, disciple, colleague, friend and rival. This provocative play, from Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Donald Margulies is literate, intelligent and sensitive, with characters of both dramatic and human interest. Through six scenes covering six years, the two women renegotiate their relationship's shifting sand in an "engaging, witty and painful" play.   "This is probably Margulies' best play to date." -NY Post.  

Directed by Stevie Zimmerman
