The life of transgendered German woman Charlotte von Mahlsdorf is the focus of the Cleveland Play House production of Doug Wright's I Am My Own Wife.

On stage through November 27, the play, starring Mark Nelson, is part of the Play House's 90th anniversary. It is one of two productions that Ohio audiences will be able to see, and the third in the space of a year.

Charlotte von Mahlsdorf

Von Mahlsdorf spent her life defying the odds: helping Jews in Nazi Germany sell furniture, clocks and other personal items to get enough money to escape, and collecting "bourgeois cultural assets" in East Germany while the secret police would have happily burned them. Even more amazingly, in a time when the government cracked down on anything that smacked of individual-

Mark Nelson ity, when devotion to the state was paramount, here was Charlotte von Mahlsdorf walking the streets of East Berlin in women's clothes, despite being born a boy.

A month and a half after the close of the Cleveland Play House's run of the show, the Actors Theater of Louisville will bring back last March's Ensemble Theater of Cincinnati production starring Todd Almond, who took Cincinnati by storm as the titular character in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The show, which starts January 19, is the first time in 20 years that Ensemble has produced a show at another theater.

For tickets or information on the Cleveland Play House production of I Am My Own Wife, call 216-795-7000 ext. 235, or go to www.clevelandplayhouse.com. The Play House is at 8500 Euclid Avenue.
