Collected Stories
by Donald Margulies
Two women take the stage for this dramatic play about a teacher and her student protégée, kicking off Women's History Month this March. Jennie Ward will make her MJTC directorial debut.
Ruth Steiner is a respected author in the autumn of her career when she hires Lisa, a graduate student, to be her assistant. Under Ruth's mentorship, Lisa's talent is unleashed, but when Lisa writes a novel based upon her teacher's past, their friendship explodes with questions about intellectual property and the ownership of experiences. This gem of a play, by one of today's most admired playwrights, displays "tangled connections between creativity and ideology...thick with ideas like a stockpot of good stew." (Village Voice)
