Garden Rose Theater to Present I AM MY OWN WIFE, 2/18-3/6
Garden Rose Theater will present Doug Wright's riveting masterpiece I AM MY OWN WIFE directed by Nick Hrutkay and starring Benjamin James Michael from Thursday, February 18 through March 6, 2016 at Central Square Theater.
Not long after the fall of the Berlin Wall, playwright Doug Wright (QUILLS, GREY GARDENS, and HANDS ON A HARDBODY) began a conversation with Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an elegant and eccentric 65-year-old German transvestite who, against all odds, hid from the Nazis in plain sight as a woman. Wright uses more than 30 characters-all played here by the masterful Benjamin James Michael to piece together Charlotte's controversial life. The winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play, I AM MY OWN WIFE is a profound story of survival.
Following the success of its sold-out and critically acclaimed production of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST from last season, also at Central Square Theater, Garden Rose uses theatre to create awareness of and conversation about significant social matters. Combining art and social justice while raising money for agencies working to help those affected by the issue at hand. Garden Rose's ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST was recently nominated for six 2015 Broadway World Boston Awards, including Best Drama and Best Director (Nick Hrutkay).
Performances will take place at Central Square Theater, 450 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge. Curtain time for each show is 7:30 p.m. for evening performances and 2pm for Sunday matinees. For tickets and more information please visit https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/955054.
