You have 17 days left to catch Everyman Theater's production of I Am My Own Wife.
Bruce R. Nelson plays the politically controversial transvestite Charlotte von Mahlsdorf in Doug Wright's 2004 Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
Though it's a one-man (or should I say "woman") show, Nelson uses different voices and characters, so it actually feels as though there are a series of actors on the stage.
The first act was a bit slow and weighed down with exposition, but the second act exploded. I Am My Own Wife is funny, sweet, and heartbreaking. The play is not "about transvesties," nor is it "about the Stasi;" rather, its about the choices we are forced to make for art, love, and our personal happiness, and the inevitable repercussions and judgments that continue to follow like a shadow.
See it!
And before -- or after -- grab a mozzarella-tomato-basil crepe from Sofi's Crepes or sangria and the roasted eggplant from Tapas Teatro -- all on the same block as Everyman.
