Resumen del Editor

This riveting Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning drama tells the fascinating, real-life story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a transgender woman who managed to defy insurmountable odds. Based on interviews conducted by the playwright, I Am My Own Wife takes us on a theatrical journey that vividly chronicles the bravery, cunning, and strength that Von Mahlsdorf used to survive both the Nazi and Communist regimes of East Germany. Brilliantly performed by Jefferson Mays in a Tony-winning role, I Am My Own Wife is a thought-provoking, unforgettable portrait of an unlikely hero.

As amazing on audio as it is on stage

As much as I miss what the stage brings to this solo performance, this audio production does justice to this amazing story.

Jefferson Mays-amazing!!!

The story line was good, but the performance was spectacular! Mays’ voice is beautiful, seriously was doubting it was one narrator. Genius!!! Thank you so much for providing quality performances! Dee

Jefferson Mays is an amazing narrator!

This is a wonderful story of a unique individual from a part of history that isn’t often explored. The story was captivating in and of itself, but the performance was truly outstanding. When I realized that every character was voiced by the talented Jefferson Mays, I had to go back and listen to it again just to marvel at his talent for voice acting. I would have loved to have seen this performed live on stage!

Good story, slightly off-putting accent

The story was well done, and I enjoyed how they laid it out. However, it was very strange hearing the incredibly American accent of Karl Marx speaking very American-sounding German.

Stick with the tale

I almost stopped listening about 15 mins into the story. It was odd to me and I wasn’t sure where it was leading. It did finally all come together about a man/women that was born in the wrong century. It ended up being a compelling story
