I Am My Own Wife

I Am My Own Wife is a one-person play that explores the life of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an openly transgender woman who navigated life in East Berlin under both Nazi and Communist regimes. The show, written by Doug Wright, is a thoughtful look at identity, survival, and the complexities of truth, based on interviews conducted by the playwright. This performance takes place on Thursday, March 18, 2027, at the Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre within Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. The intimate setting of the Shelterhouse is well-suited for a solo performance like this, offering a close connection to the narrative. It's a show that appeals to those interested in historical drama and character studies.
