I Am My Own Wife explores the true story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a transvestite and celebrated antiques dealer, who successfully navigated two highly oppressive regimes -- the Nazis and the Communists. While openly gay and defiantly in drag, von Mahlsdorf was both hailed as a cultural hero and accused of colluding with the Stasi.

Starring Jefferson Mays, who won a clutch of awards for his performance in the play on Broadway.
