Written by Doug Wright, I Am My Own Wife is the true story of playwright Doug Wright’s encounter with Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an East German transvestite who survived both the Nazi invasion and the Soviet-dominated Communist dictatorship. In this highly theatrical journey, Wright is driven to uncover the secrets of a woman whose very existence seems an impossibility.
