Winner of the 2015 Jessie Richardson Award for Outstanding Original Script Inside the Seed is a contemporary version of Oedipus Rex reimagined as a darkly comic political thriller. Mirroring controversial real-life scientific and corporate controversies, Inside the Seed concerns a once-brilliant scientist who made a startling discovery: a bio-engineered form of rice that could save an overpopulated world on the brink of catastrophic famine.
