Hedwig and The Angry Inch at Desert Rose Playhouse

Hedwig and The Angry Inch by John Cameron Mitchel and Stephen Trask tells the hilarious, harrowing, and essentially uplifting tale of how a “slip of a girlyboy” from communist East Berlin, Hanschel, becomes the “internationally ignored song stylist” known as Hedwig after a botched sex change operation.

Hedwig directly tells the audience of her past tribulations and heartbreak in the form of an extended monologue paired with rock songs. With a little help from her band, Hedwig examines her quest for her other half, for love, and ultimately for her identity.
