Starring Elizabeth Hawthorne and Michelle Blundell, Collected Stories presents these two experienced and talented actors with two fabulous character roles. Over six scenes and six years, trust, betrayal, youthful ambition and the waning power of age go under the microscope in this emotionally charged and beautifully written drama from Pulitzer-prize winning author Donald Margulies. 

When the line between professional relationship and emotional involvement is crossed, the scene is set for an inevitable showdown between mentor and disciple. 

For Ruth, famous short story writer and now teacher, the price of vulnerability is devastatingly costly.

For Lisa, the highly ambitious writing student, the price of fame is worth whatever it takes.

Nora Ephron famously said ‘everything is copy’. 

Should it be so? Is it morally defensible to steal someone’s most personal secrets and make capital from them? 

In this finely balanced drama, who will YOU side with?

“I could have used your friendship but you were too busy going through my panty drawer, scavenging through my personal effects.”
