Directed by Kim Col- lier, Seeds plays at Blyth Memorial Hall from June 24 to August 8. Tickets are available by calling Blyth Festival's box office at 519- 523-9300, toll free 1-877-862-5984 or online at blythfestival.com. Seeds is based on the case that went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada: Monsanto vs. Percy Schmeiser. Schmeiser, a Saskatchewan farmer, was sued by Monsanto for growing a crop he claims he never planted. But it's not a simple case of the farmer being good and the trans- national company being bad; Seeds looks at the issues from a larger perspective. This is an unflinching look at the reality of farming in the 21st Century: No easy answers, no spoon-feeding. A pregnant young playwright travels to the town of Bruno to get to the truth. What follows is her extraordinary journey into the community, into the court- room, into the laboratory, and into contemporary life on a working farm... all in search of the real Percy Schmeiser. Heading the cast is David Fox as Percy Schmeiser. Very few performers have spent as much time on the Blyth Festival stage as Mr. Fox; most recently as Wal- ter in St. Anne's Reel last season. "When we set about casting Seeds and needed a fiery, dynamic, farmer of a certain age, David was our first choice," said Gil Garratt, Blyth Festival's artis- tic director. The only trouble with casting a powerhouse like Fox, is finding the actors who can keep up with him. Seeds revolves around the relationship between Schmeiser and the upstart young play- wright, Annabel. Garratt and director Kim Col- lier spent a long time making lists of possible young women who could bring the same tenac- ity and spirit to the stage as Fox. When the idea of casting Sevem Thompson came to light, they both immediately leapt on it. No stranger to the Blyth Festival, Thompson, in many ways, literally grew up in the greenroom and has appeared on stage at Blyth Memo- rial Hall many times. She has dis- tinguished herself across the country as one of the finest actors of her generation, and has appeared in leading roles and multiple seasons at both the Shaw and Stratford Festivals. The cast also includes Keith Barker, Rachel Cairns, and Jeff Irving - all making their Blyth Fes- tival debuts; Jason Chesworth from last season's,Kitchen Radio and Stag and Doe; and Tracey Ferencz who last appeared at Blyth in 2002's Filthy Rich. Creating the multi -media stage setting is Steve Lucas (set), Beth Kates (lighting and projec- tions), and Karyn McCallum (costumes). Crystal MacDonell is the production stage manager and Christina Cicko is the assis- tant stage manager. "Seeds will be a visual marvel, a spectacle of cutting-edge technology," said Garratt. "How else can you tell the story of life on a contempo- rary Canadian farm?" Playwright Annabel Soutar learned about the documentary approach to theatre while study- ing English and Theatre at Prince- ton University under the tutelage of renowned American playwright Emily Mann. Since 1998 she has been applying it to plays she pro- duces in Montreal at Porte Parole Productions her production com- pany she co-founded hi 2000 with actor Alex Ivanovici. Seeds premiered in Montreal, was named the best English pro- duction of the year by Montreal's Association of French theatre critics, and was nominated for Best New Text and Best English Production by the Academie quebecoise du theatre. Director Kim Collier is an award-winning director, creator, teacher, actress and the co- founder of Vancouver's Electric Company Theatre where she was artistic producer for 15 years. Most recently she directed a new interpretation of Sweeney Todd for Vancouver Opera. The last few years she was resi- dent artist at Canadian Stage in Toronto and the inaugural direc- tor of their new MFA in Directing with York University. Kim was honored to receive an Honorary Doctorate of Letters last June from Thompson Rivers Uni- versity and is the recipient of the prestigious Elinore & Lou Simino- vitch Prize for directing. brei■..■: inn OFFICE FICLTaL Le.Fi4GE iG= 519-565-5100 ®13 �`." ilearUuld Itaa 6B Main St. N.
