A review by ruthmittiga
Compulsion by Meyer Levin

5.0

I had wanted to read the novel this play was based on, but the library only had the play. The play was fine, but the 40 page forward is what made this publication. So petty. Forty pages of detailed grievances about the director and producer of his play. Summary: He wrote a play, the director and producer ended up having someone else rewrite it. Levin decided to publish his superior version since that is not what audiences saw. I guess the play that was put on ended up being a flop. Amazing piece of niche pop culture drama. 10 out of 5 stars.
