About the show
Seed is a drama and LGBTQ+ theatre piece from Great Dayne Productions, a student company from Hollins University in Virginia. When Bud, a sales agronomist for a seed company, checks into an Iowa motel searching for his missing son, he encounters Holler, a young hustler still reeling from his boyfriend's suicide. Each believes the other holds the key to escape. A fragile, dangerously paternal bond forms between them, and as a spectre of the lost boy circles the motel, both are drawn toward a terrifying mutation neither can outrun. The show runs for 50 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A tense, genre-blending drama that interweaves horror and human connection in an Iowa motel room. The pairing of a grieving father and a young man in crisis creates an unsettling and emotionally charged atmosphere that is hard to shake.
