I Am My Own Wife at The Justice Theater Project

The Justice Theater Project Presents a Staged Reading: I Am My Own Wife by Doug Wright

Directed by Jackson Cooper
Starring Brian Westbrook

Based on a true story, and inspired by interviews conducted by the playwright over several years, I AM MY OWN WIFE tells the fascinating tale of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a real-life German transvestite who managed to survive both the Nazi onslaught and the repressive East German Communist regime.


Winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize and the 2004 Tony Award.

" I AM MY OWN WIFE is a must-see…an experience that is intellectual, theatrical, funny, and poignant…the integrity of his writing provokes us to think, it teaches us a history we never knew we had, and without forgiveness and sentiment unravels the story of one life." —NYTheatre.com.
