Ah Steve

‘I’ve always been a good Catholic boy. I’ve been baptized, go to church every Sunday, and confess even when I didn’t do any sins. And now at 30, I think I know how to be happy.’

‘Ah Steve’ is a story of a Chinese boy who prays to his dead mother everyday. On Sundays, he prays to Jesus.

This Christmas, there is a problem at the church. The youth wing of the Church wants to put up a nativity play and Ah Steve wants to be part of the show. However, because ‘all the man parts in the show tok in hard bible words I cannot pronounce’, Ah Steve has to play a woman part - Mother Mary.

The problem is, Ah Steve feels very happy donning Mary’s costume and lipstick. It reminds him of his Mama’s shoulder pads, and the mascara he used to see his Aunt Tabitha wipe off her face, and of My Little Ponies! Horse dolls he never had a chance to play with because his staunch Catholic Aunty Tabitha thinks it is a sin!

Ah Steve is a story of a boy who woke up one day crying because he felt happy to be called Mary, even if for a day. It is a story of lip gloss, Church hymns, Chinese ghost stories, and of course, My Little Ponies.

Ah Steve is in English with bits of Hokkien.
