WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Linda Lavin is nominated for the Tony Award for Best Leading Actress.
Tony Award winner Linda Lavin and Sarah Paulson star in MTC's The Tale of the Allergist's Wife, by Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies. 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 (Paulson). As their relationship evolves and the line between fact and fiction starts to blur, their fascinating story comes to an explosive conclusion.
