I AM MY OWN WIFE


written by Doug Wright
directed by Kristen Walsh


Her survival was an act of resistance.
The true story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an East German transgender woman who lived through both the Nazi and Communist regimes. An unforgettable portrait of identity and resilience, truth and transformation.
It is both a bold and delicate flower of a play: a work of theater that quietly teaches us how to see, and listen, anew.” — The New York Times
