Sowing the Wind is an 1893 play by the British writer Sydney Grundy. The play had a run of over 200 nights in 1894, when it was presented at the Empire Theatre in New York City. The play created controversy in England when it was staged there, with the Revered Dr. Boyd, vice-chancellor of the Oxford University, forbidding "any further representations of the play within the university jurisdiction". Grundy responded to Boyd, stating: "To laymen at the end of the nineteenth century, it seems a bit medieval, this extreme care for the morals of a set of young gentlemen who find compensation for six months' abstinence at Oxford by six months' indulgence at music halls in London and elsewhere. Perhaps Dr. Boyd is attempting to secure for his charges a fair yearly average".
