I Am My Own Wife

Hailed as “Astonishing” by the NY Daily News, “Extraordinary” by TimeOut New York, and “Mesmerizing” by The New York Times, Doug Wright’s play tells the true story of East German transvestite Charlotte von Mahlsdorf who incredibly eluded both the Nazis and the Communists with a combination of cleverness and deceit. A riveting examination of the importance – and the duplicity – of storytelling, the unique structure of this show is further heightened as all forty characters are played by a single actor.
