Go Back The Laramie Project

Written by Moises Kaufman and the Members of the Tectonic Theater Project

Documentary theatre about the aftermath of the 1998 murder of openly gay college student Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming.  The play draws on hundreds of interviews of Laramie residents conducted by Kaufman and the Tectonic Theatre Project, as well as news reports and company members' journal entries.  Together, these pieces fit together to form the story of how Shepard died, the reaction both of Laramie and the country at large, and the trials of his murderers.

Directed by Greg Wise
