Actor prepares to play 35 characters at once
By Will Halman | September 13It can be hard for an actor to prepare for playing a character like Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, the real-life transvestite antiques collector who lived through Germany's Nazi and Communist governments. But Mahlsdorf is just one of 35 characters John Feltch will play in PlayMakers Repertory Company's upcoming one-man show, "I Am My Own Wife." The show, Feltch said, is "about that character but it's also about a bunch of other people involved in that person's life and the playwright himself and how he reflects on this person."
