The Laramie Project
- 10 Years Later
By Moises Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project
Directed By Gary Abrahams
In 1998 a young gay student, Matthew Shepard, was brutally beaten and left to die on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. The crime sent shockwaves through the town and reverberated across the USA and the world. Just a month after the murder, member of the Tectonic Theater Project arrived in Laramie and set about conducting a series of interviews which performed the basis of the Laramie Project - one of the most performed plays of the last decade. The original creators returned to the town exactly ten years later to see how the stigma of the crime had affected Laramie. What they found defied all expectations. The result is a new play about how we construct our own history.
"There are some plays that remind you why theater exists in the first place... A rare wonder indeed" - The Boston Herald.
