THE STORY: Sid Silver is a man obsessed. When he learns about a young girl named Anne Frank and her extraordinary diary, Silver makes it his mission to ensure her tale is heard. But is the manuscript a work of art? A cultural treasure? Once publishers and producers get involved, it becomes "a very valuable product" - and his good intentions prove to be his undoing.

"FascinatingThe puppets eloquently express one of the play's major themes: how real life differs from stage life, how theater lies even when it tells the truth." - NY Times. "A riveting drama for three actors and an ensemble of marionettes[Groff's] semifictional dive into one real Jewish writer's litigious battle over Anne Frank's diary is a compelling foray along a thin line between idealism and fanaticism." - San Francisco Chronicle. "Rinne Groff takes us to the intersection of history and show business in her very powerful new playCOMPULSION is a rich mix of history, entertainment world gossip, and a man's obsession over a work of art that doesn't really belong to him. It's a terrific show." - Connecticut Post.
