In
1998, University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard was murdered near
the outskirts of Laramie. The ensuing investigation led to the
conclusion that he had been tortured because he was gay. Reaction to the
event led members of the Tectonic Theatre Project to conduct hundreds
of interviews with inhabitants of Laramie and turn their comments and
thoughts, combined with news reports, into a play which has been
performed across the nation and was made into a 2002 HBO film. The play
features a small number of actors performing the exact words of more
than 60 characters from the town, the media, and the original actors
themselves.
Presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service
