The Collected Stories website features four mini-documentaries which use text, images, and video to present in-depth interviews with the director, the producer, and the two stars, Linda Lavin and Samantha Mathis.

A section called "On Writing" contains an interview with the playwright, two pieces of historical background written especially for the website by a essayist, Lewis MacAdams, and information about the controversy surrounding writer's rights that served as the inspiration for the play.

Other site features include:
 

Interviews with the director and featured actors as well as studies of two key scenes with video clips from the final film and comments from the filmmakers.
 

A Production Roles section that explains who does what on a movie set. Pages for each of the ten featured crew members include a job description, biography and an interview.
 

An extensive glossary, covering all of the of production terms used in the site.
