Based on the true story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a transgendered German antiques collector who was an unlikely survivor of the Nazi and Communist regimes. Was she a spy? A murderer? How much of her story is true? You decide. Hartford Stage favorite James Lecesne (The Mystery of Irma Vep) plays over 40 roles to tell her story--an inspiring and unforgettable testament to the human spirit.
