I Am My Own Wife

I Am My Own Wife is a one-person play, an intimate look at the life of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an openly trans woman who survived both Nazi and Communist regimes in East Germany. The performance explores themes of identity, resilience, and the complexities of history through Charlotte's story, based on interviews conducted by playwright Doug Wright. This production runs at the Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre at Cincinnati Playhouse In The Park on Saturday, February 27, 2027. The Shelterhouse offers a more intimate theatrical setting, well-suited for a nuanced solo performance. Audiences interested in historical narratives and character-driven drama will likely find this engaging.
