A Male Mother: A Play

In this play, Allen Morita, a Japanese American, is determined to be a male mother. In order to adopt a child, he marries Jenny, who is thirteen years his senior and has long ceased to have an interest in physical love. Allen finally adopts Alice in 1987. He has raised her all by himself like a mother. On June 14, 2000, Alice is missing. A dead body in the woods leads people to believe that she was sexually abused and killed. Allen's wife Jenny and mistress Meiyin both assume that Allen is guilty. However, Jenny, Meiyin, and Allen all confess to being responsible for the death of Alice. But the court sentenced Allen to life imprisonment. Suddenly, Alice appears with Allen's admirer John, who, instead of abusing Alice, has taken her to China to look for her birth mother. The play reveals human nobleness and subconscious sinister thoughts through intensive conflicts and love.

When Allen Morita became a mother and single-handedly brought up an adopted baby girl, Alice, into a great beauty, how his life and psychology have transformed! Why did he and his wife, mistress, and male admirer all confess to having a hand in the death of Alice? Dramatic, lyrical, mysterious, intriguing.
