Centaur Theatre presents “Seeds” by Annabel Soutar: Oct. 29 – Nov. 24

SEEDS

October 29 – November 24

This gripping, modern day David-versus-Goliath docudrama chronicles the epic legal showdown between Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser and Monsanto. The agrochemical firm accused Schmeiser of illegally growing its patented, genetically engineered canola seeds on his farm, while he claimed they were blown in with the wind. When Schmeiser famously asked the question, "who owns life?" before the Supreme Court of Canada, his words galvanized the anti-GMO (genetically modified organism) movement around the world.
