STANDING OVATIONS FOR "I AM MY OWN WIFE" AT THE CLEVELAND PLAY HOUSE



"All eyes were not only wide open, rare enough 
among this crowd toward the end of an evening, they 
were glued, many shining with tears, on the final 
moments of a truly remarkable performance in a 
fascinating production of an important play."  
- Tony Brown, Plain Dealer

"Nelson's performance, effectively directed by 
Anders Cato, is remarkable for its establishment of 
distance and boundaries.  With a Mona Lisa-like grin,
Nelson establishes a character who can barely
suppress delight in her own uniqueness and an 
apparent willingness to lie openly and frequently.   
Nelson's von Mahlsdorf enchants us while she's 
reeling us in."
- Roy Berko, The Times Newspapers

"Mark Nelson is near flawless in shifting from 
character to character. His performance is a piece of 
accomplished technical mastery. He embodies the
main character, playwright Douglas Wright perfectly, 
and Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, the secondary 
character only a little less so. He recreates
characters from across Germany and the US, male 
and female with shifts of voice and posture. Without 
exception they convince and engage from the most
forceful to the most ephemeral appearances."
- Diane Frank, Alpha Omega Society

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING...

"... it was with some trepidation that I went to see 
the performance -- after all, I knew almost nothing 
about the story and what I did know about it was well
outside my normal "box". But, hey, what else is a 
single 21-year-old guy going to do on a Tuesday 
night? I Am My Own Wife is the most moving story 
I've seen on stage, with the best set, acting, 
lighting -- and everything else -- I can recall from
any performance I've ever attended or been involved 
with. Everyone involved deserves commendation, and 
I hope this is merely a sign of what I can expect from 
future Playhouse productions."  -Lincoln K.C.

"Having seen "I Am My Own Wife" during its New 
York premiere, my expectations were not exactly high 
for what I considered a "lesser" production at the
Cleveland Play House.  However, I was pleasantly 
surprised by the performance that I saw last week.  
Mark Nelson's amazing ability to create over 30 
different roles during the show is, perhaps, the best 
acting I recall ever seeing. Congratulations and thank 
you for presenting this wonderful show."  -Robert T.
