Collected Stories is running from June 21st through July 14th. The drama was written by Pulitzer Prize winning dramatist Donald Margulies. The story is based on the a student/teacher relationship between two women. The student is the teachers protegee and as she matures as a writer over the course of the play (a six year time span) she pens a novel based on the affair of her teacher with a well known poet.
