I Am My Own Wife

ZACH’s Arena Stage presents Doug Wright’s I Am My Own Wife. Charlotte is an unforgettable real survivor of the Nazi regime in Germany, the Soviet-dominated Communist dictatorship of East Berlin, and the fall of the Berlin Wall. In a reunited Berlin, Charlotte now runs a small, fantastic museum of memorabilia where this soft-spoken, but tenaciously gender-bending male, portrays more than 40 characters in the performance of a lifetime. A shattering secret is revealed that calls into question Charlotte’s entire life story in this testament to the will to survive.
