Linda Lavin and Samantha Mathis are superb in Donald Margulies' adaptation of his 1999 play “Collected Stories,” about the prickly friendship between a writer-professor and a devoted pupil who betrays her in a roman à clef. Directed by Gil Cates. Also: interviews with the actresses, director and playwright; and a segment on the piece's transition from stage to the small screen.
