I Am My Own Wife

Doug Wright's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, I Am My Own Wife, tells the true story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an openly transgender woman who survived both Nazi and Communist regimes in East Berlin. This one-person show is a powerful character study, exploring themes of identity, memory, and survival through Charlotte's captivating narrative. It's a significant theatrical work known for its intricate storytelling and a single actor's transformative performance. This matinee performance on Saturday, March 6, 2027, takes place at the intimate Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre within Cincinnati Playhouse In The Park. The smaller, in-the-round setting of the Shelterhouse is ideal for this kind of intense, character-driven drama, offering a close connection to the actor. This production will appeal to those interested in historical narratives, nuanced theatrical performances, and stories of human resilience.
