Intelligent and provocative, poignant and funny, this acclaimed one-man show tells the astonishing true story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an East German man who lived as a woman under both the Nazi and Communist regimes.  But how true is it?  Charlotte's own words are called into question as the playwright digs deeper into a past that defies easy explanation.  Exploring notions of heroism, this powerful theatrical event will leave you in awe as one actor plays nearly three dozen characters in a tour-de-force performance.
