Welcome to the world premiere of Compulsion!

I am pleased to introduce Yale Rep audiences to this unique new play by Rinne Groff. Inspired by actual events and the lives and writings of Meyer Levin and Anne Frank, Rinne has created a world where reality and imagination blur in delightful and unexpected ways; where passion can easily turn into obsession; and where good intentions do not guarantee the desired outcome. In telling the story of one man’s quest for truth and justice in the face of art, commerce, political will, and self-interest, Compulsion asks hard questions about our history, our culture, and our nature. And like all great works of art, it does not offer easy or comfortable answers.
A related set of questions echo in the findings of a seven-year study on the state of the new American play conducted by Theatre Development Fund. The results, recently published in the book Outrageous Fortune: The Life and Times of the New American Play, have sparked remarkable conversations among artists and institutional leaders throughout the professional theatre. Just as Compulsion’s Sid Silver spends a lifetime trying to bring his play to the stage, playwrights across the country today are struggling to marshal the appropriate resources to produce their work: theatres and writers are assessing best practices that support artists and engage audiences, so as to sustain the vitality of our art form. © 2008 Hospitality 3

This is a task to which Yale Rep has devoted itself since its founding in 1966: our theatre’s history is defined most vividly by our productions of new plays by emerging and established writers such as August Wilson, Christopher Durang, Athol Fugard, Suzan-Lori Parks, Sarah Ruhl, Rolin Jones, Lucinda Coxon, José Rivera, David Adjmi, and Octavio Solis, among many others. In 2008, the Robina Foundation helped to reinforce that commitment through a grant supporting the establishment of the Yale Center for New Theatre, which includes among its wide-ranging activities the commissioning, development and production of new plays and musicals at Yale Rep. This co-production of Compulsion, in particular, is cause for celebration. The four-week run in New Haven marks the first stop of the play’s national journey. Through an invigorating partnership with The Public Theater in New York and Berkeley Repertory Theatre in California, this wondrously inventive and deeply moving play will benefit from ongoing rehearsal and production at all three theatres and the invaluable responses of its audiences. All of us at Yale Rep are thrilled to share this experience with you, and with our colleagues and fellow theatre lovers in Berkeley and New York. I am also pleased to invite you to become a fan of Yale Rep on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ yalerep), where your thoughts and comments are appreciated, and where you can help us get the word out about Compulsion here in our own community, as well as to your family and friends across the country. And of course, I look forward to receiving and responding to the messages you send to me at james.bundy@yale.edu. Your experiences here at Yale Rep are important to all of us who work here, and we are never more honored than when you take the time to share your thoughts with us. Sincerely,

In Search of a T e ll e r Rinne Groff’s Compulsion is a fictional work based on two very real writers: Anne Frank and Meyer Levin. Anne Frank left the world a sheaf of papers—including her diary, filled with her most intimate thoughts. Even as a teenager, she showed the dedication and discipline of a mature writer, revising her diary entries, novellas, and short stories, but she never got the chance to explore all of her potential. Meyer Levin enjoyed a long writer’s life and left the world with a whole shelf of writing: a lifetime full of novels, articles, and letters. He wrote two autobiographies, and he even created a character, Sid Silver, based on himself. And though they never met, their lives are forever connected.
“That’s the difficulty in these times: ideals, dreams, cherished hopes rise within us, only to meet the horrible truth and be shattered. It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” —From Anne Frank’s July 15, 1944, diary entry
Few diaries have been—or, perhaps, ever will be—as widely known, read, and loved as Anne Frank’s. Although it was first published in the Netherlands in 1947, and subsequently translated and circulated throughout Europe, another five years lapsed before Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl would find an American audience. Published in 1952 by Doubleday & Company, the thin volume hit bookstore shelves at a time when most Americans had little knowledge of what had actually transpired in Nazi concentration camps. Meyer Levin, a prominent journalist and novelist, wrote the glowing review that helped to transform Anne’s private musings into a bestselling sensation.

“There is anguish in the thought of how much creative power, how much sheer beauty of living, was cut off through genocide. But through her diary Anne goes on living...Surely she will be widely loved, for this wise and wonderful young girl brings back a poignant delight in the infinite human spirit.”
—Meyer Levin in the New York Times review of Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl,1952
In 1950, Meyer Levin read a copy of the French version of the diary, given to him by his wife Tereska Torres. At that point in his literary life, Levin had published The Old Bunch, Citizens, and My Father’s House, among other novels and articles. His work captured Jewish American life, workers’ strikes, and the treacherous underground route European Jews took into Israel. He also dabbled in the performing arts: he ran a puppet theatre in his hometown of Chicago where he staged O’Neill’s The Hairy Ape with marionettes. Most remarkably, Levin had been a war correspondent and covered the liberation of the concentration camps in Eastern Europe. His 1949 autobiography In Search attempts to describe his experiences there and the atrocities that defied almost every attempt at description.
“As I groped in the first weeks, beginning to apprehend the monstrous shape of the story I would have to tell, I knew already that I would never penetrate its heart of bile, for the magnitude of this horror seemed beyond human register... Occasionally I could tell a story that gave a tangential glimpse into the hearts of the survivors. Some day a teller would arise from amongst themselves.” —Meyer Levin in his autobiography, In Search, 1949
Meyer Levin believed that Anne was such a teller. He became one of the diary’s most avid and enthusiastic advocates, a mission that eventually lead him to become mired in legal battles for three decades, almost up until his death in 1981. Though, unfortunately, many of Meyer Levin’s novels are now only found in libraries or secondhand bookstores, and his struggle largely relegated to footnotes in Anne’s story, the success of her diary is part of his legacy. And that thin volume, in which a young girl formulated one of the most famous expressions of belief in human decency, will be his home. Fortunately Anne Frank’s diary shows no signs of ever going out of print.
