By Doug Wright
The Pulitzer and Tony Award winning I Am My Own Wife is based on a true story, inspired by interviews conducted by the playwright over several years, and tells the fascinating tale of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a real-life German trans woman who managed to survive both the Nazi onslaught and the repressive East German Communist regime.
Tony Award for Best Play
I Am My Own Wife ran at Out Front Theatre Company March 14-30, 2019.
This one person show starred Peter Smith as Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, et. all, and is the first professional production to have a single trans performer portray all 35+ characters.
