I Am My Own Wife

I Am My Own Wife is a one-person play, a biographical drama based on the life of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an openly transgender woman who survived both Nazi and Communist regimes in East Berlin. The show explores themes of identity, truth, and resilience through Doug Wright's Pulitzer-winning script, with the single actor portraying over thirty different characters. This matinee performance at the Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre offers a focused theatrical experience. The intimate setting of the Shelterhouse is well-suited for a play of this nature, allowing for a close connection between the audience and the performer. It’s a compelling option for those interested in historical drama and solo performances.
