SNAP! Productions presents the Omaha premiere of Doug Wright’s “I Am My Own Wife.” This gripping and moving drama tells the true story of playwright Doug Wright’s encounter with Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an East German transvestite who survived the two most repressive regimes of the Western world – the Nazis and the Soviet-dominated Communist dictatorship. In this highly theatrical journey, Wright is driven to uncover the secrets of a woman whose very existence seems an impossibility.
Kevin Lawler will direct actor Nick Zadina as he brings to life Wright, von Mahlsdorf, and nearly 40 other characters in this widely-acclaimed story of truth and survival.
Winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the 2004 Tony Award for Best Play, and a host of other awards, “I Am My Own Wife” promises a “vibrant, vital, and fascinating” night of theatre (USA Today).
