Mothers All: A New Play

It’s 2080. Human reproduction is now under State control in an effort to manage population and conserve dwindling resources in a global movement known as Mothers All. Hailed as “the great democratizer,” maternal deaths, teenage pregnancies, and abortion numbers plummet. Yet, with this leap of scientific advancement comes unforeseen consequences. Following in the speculative fiction footsteps of Octavia Butler and Ursula Leguin, “Mothers All” asks complicated questions about the nature of motherhood, gender, bodily autonomy, and the ethics surrounding artificial reproductive technology. The science is real — and it’s here — but what should we do with it?
