Seeds
Seeds is a “documentary drama” based off real events. It tells a “David and Goliath” type battle between Percy Schmeiser and Monsanto Canada Inc. Schmeiser is a canola farmer in Saskatchewan who found canola plants in his field that were resistant to weed killer.
He used the seeds from these plants to plant most of the next year’s crop. These plants were originally developed by Monsanto who was selling them to other farmers. Monsanto took Schmeiser to court for not paying for the seeds and in the end they won.
This play raises several questions about GMOs and whether or not a company can own the genes to something.The object of a play is to tell a story. When a play is performed, its intention is to create a new reality in where the events depicted can happen.
