This reviewer saw the Seattle Shakespeare Company's The Servant of Two Masters on Sunday, January 25, at the Seattle Center. This play runs through February 1.

Seattle-based Harzard Factory is a politically active Industrial Arts outfit co-founded in 2000 by Evergreen graduate Rusty Oliver. In keeping with its mission of advancing “high risk” forms of collaborative artistic expression, the group began organizing Power Tool Drag Racing derbies for the Georgetown neighborhood’s annual Artopia festival in 2006.

While power tool racing has been happening in various forms across the country since at least the 1980s, the Seattle events have attracted considerable attention, including profiles by Make magazine and Popular Science. Hazard Factory took the event overseas for Amsterdam’s Robodock festival in 2007, performed an encore at the local Critical Massive Burning Man gathering, and expanded the races to Olympia in April for the Downtown Art Walk, drawing many entries from the community.
