See What I Wanna See is a musical by Michael John LaChiusa based on three short stories by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa: "Kesa and Morito," "In a Grove" (the inspiration for Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon), and "The Dragon." The prologue to each act involves the lovers Kesa and Morito and their simultaneous plots to murder one another. The first act follows a rape and murder in Central Park in 1951 from the various perspectives of several different characters. Act two centers on a priest, wavering in his faith, who devises a hoax about a miracle.
