Mandy Patinkin will be seen in the world premiere of Compulsion by Rinne Groff at the Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, CT, January 29-February 28, 2010. In the play, Mandy plays Sid Silver, who wants to bring the story of Anne Frank to the American public by translating the diary and adapting it for the stage. But his passion spirals into a lifelong obsession when a New York publishing house reveals its own plans for what would become one of the most powerful and enduring documents of the 20th century.
