Collected Stories

The Orange Curtain presents Collected Stories, written by Donald Margulies, and directed by Jean Hauser.

The conflict between the established artist and the adulatory fan who becomes a protégé, disciple, colleague, friend, and finally a threatening rival, is the topic of this provocative play. Ruth Steiner, a prominent short-story writer and her student, Lisa Morrison, are teacher and student in both academia and in life. In her first novel, Lisa cannibalizes Ruth’s experiences and her youthful shattering love affair. Collected Stories is a well-drawn portrait of the insular world of fiction writers.
