Press Release: Southern Rep presents I Am My Own Wife
Southern Rep announces its second production of the season, I Am My Own Wife by Doug Wright, co-produced by All Kinds
of Theatre.
Pulitzer Prize and Tony winner for Best Play, I Am My Own Wife 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. Returning after his award-winning direction of Doubt two seasons ago, Carl Walker stages this smart and involving play. The much-in-demand Bob Edes, Jr. takes on the tour-de-force role of Charlotte after hitting home runs in SRT's productions of Sick, The Clean House, and The Breach.
There will be complimentary wine tastings on Thursdays, November 12 & 19 and December 3 at 7:15 pm.
I Am My Own Wife will run November 4 - December 6, 2009, although there will be no performances Thanksgiving week. Evening shows begin at 8:00 pm and Sunday matinees at 3:00 pm followed by a talkback.
