It's an apocalyptic, sci-fi, steampunk collaboration between experimental theater company Liars & Believers and the steamCRUNK band Walter Sickert & the ARmy of BRoken TOys. 28 Seeds tells the story of how greed and ignorance destroyed the world. This is HP Lovecraft meets rock music and 1000 channels of cable TV; it's government conspiracy, burlesque, ray guns, and tentacles; it blends a live rock show, science fiction, dance, theatre, video and sound into an immersive performance experience.
Over 25 Boston artists and performers are sharing in this unique collaboration. We're bringing together innovative theatre, with all its story-telling tools, and the wild music of a live steampunk band. We have musicians, actors, dancers, video artists, sound artists, graphic artists and more. All are sharing in this wild collaborative work. and we invite you to join us!

"Sickert and the Toys broadcast the sound of hapless, doe-eyed innocence gazing into the abyss which counterintuitively makes for highly enjoyable listening." - Barry Thompson, Boston Phoenix

"There is a curious blend of mischief and morbidity in Walter Sickert & the Army of Broken Toys, as the duo of Sickert and Edrie are called. They garnish their ominous doom-folk with the theatricality of a demonic circus troupe. Past performances have included storytellers, fire-eaters, glass-eaters, contortionists and, of course, Edrie's broken toy army" - Boston Herald (2009)

"Taken as a whole, the 13 track CD is epic poetry exploring the black pit of human despair. ...the sweet cooing of Edrie is the perfect haunting echo to Walter's murderous howl. Soul-crushing heartbreak never sounded so good." - (Lexi Kahn) Low Budget Super Hero 2007
