Al Seed in
"The Factory"
The world is a factory where everything is quantifiable and tradeable. War, being the most expensive business, is the best business: Invest your son... The Factory is about all of our participation in violence: having a bank account, a suit and tie, a TV. Al Seed draws on buffoon, dance, mime and stand-up to tell a
brutal and hilarious tale based upon recent events such as the London bombings, all set to an explosive original electro-sountrack. Not suitable for younger children...
Al Seed is a founder member of Bristol-based Hoax Productions, winner of a Fringe First 2004 and a Jerwood Foundation Award 2002 for 'Raw Beef'. He is also the artist in residence at the Arches, Glasgow. The Factory toured throughout 2006, including a run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
