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

As amazing on audio as it is on stage

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!

Jefferson Mays is an amazing narrator!

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.

Good story, slightly off-putting accent

Okay -- disclaimer: I have only listened to about 30 minutes so far; maybe less.

But I wanted to write a review immediately in hopes more people will listen to this astonishing audiobook.

The story, the telling, the characterization, the voicing, the details are all utterly perfect, fascinating, frightening, horrifying, clear, clarifying and absolutely divine.

How the real Charlotta lived is a miracle of art, wit, persistence, courage, and fear. And intelligence. How the author came to the story, absorbed the enormity of it, and pulled it together for an audience -- I'm reminded of baking bread oddly enough. He has taken such individually difficult elements and transformed them to a beautifully told story-play.

Going back for more right now.

PS. Love the title -- as I had often said that to myself over the years.

ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING BEAUTIFUL ESSENTIAL

Couldn't stop listening.... The narrator kept me engaged and it was as if I was the one interviewing Charlotta myself... This is a must listen

Amazing
