 A Labor Play is a satirical piece about what might happen if surrogate mothers become a commodity in the corporate world. The two chief executive officers are concerned about the bad publicity which might result from a worker’s desire to gain control over the distribution of the goods. (The mother has decided to keep the baby.)

The collision of male dominance with the women’s value system is violent, and the scenario, in light of the “Baby M” case, might not be as far-fetched as it seems.
