Southern Rep Theatre Presents the Regional Premiere of I AM MY OWN WIFE
November 8, 2009
Times:
Sunday 3:00 pm
http://www.southernrep.com
Location:
3rd Fl in The Shops at Canal Place, edge of the French Quarter
Phone:
(504) 522-6545
Admission:
$29.00
Join us at the Southern Rep Theatre for the Regional Premiere of the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize Winner I AM MY OWN WIFE. I AM MY OWN WIFE, written by Doug Wright is the hauntingly complex true tale of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transvestite who successfully outwitted not only the Nazis and Communists, but could also spot a priceless antique at 100 yards. The play is the hauntingly complex true tale of the quietly dignified Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transvestite who not only outwitted the Nazis and Communists, but could also spot a priceless antique at 100 yards. Playwright Doug Wright spent ten years interviewing Charlotte and developing this play. For Charlotte collected antiques from abandoned or bombed houses, enough to turn her East Berlin home into a museum, and transform the basement into a salon and haven for gay artists and intellectuals struggling to survive under the repressive regime.
She received the Medal of Honor from the reunified German government for preserving antiques and culture. But before her life was over, all of her life story would be called into question. Yet this is not a story about being gay, not a story about being a cross-dresser and not a story about cold war politics. It is a story about survival and one astounding person. And, by the way, its funny, too. Directed by Carl Walker - Co-Production with All Kinds of Theatre. Southern Rep provides discounts for students, seniors, active military, K-12 teachers, and theatre professionals (I.D. required).
