The amazing true story about Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a real-life German transvestite who managed to survive the Nazi onslaught as well as the following, repressive Communist regime.

This compelling award-winning drama follows the journey playwright Doug Wright made from New York to Berlin to interview Charlotte who was hailed as a cultural hero of her time. Charlotte's colourful tales are a veritable treasure chest of intrigue.
