Written by Doug Wright, directed by Moises Kaufman, and starring Jefferson
Mays, this one-man play has attracted attention and acclaim from audience
members and critics alike during its Broadway run. Based on a true story, the
play examines the life of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transvestite who
survived the Nazi occupation and the subsequent Communist regime. During her
lifetime she kept an antique museum in her home, reflecting past collective
lives and memories. The play is actually the story of making the play, its
dramatic and realistic elements woven seamlessly together. Mays is inspirational
in his near superhuman portrayal of a cast of varied characters. The simple set
provides a versatile backdrop for this complicated and engaging storyline. One
has to admire playwright Doug Wright's humor; as one of the characters that Mays
so convincingly portrays is the playwright himself.
