On October 7, 1998, a young gay man was discovered bound to a fence in the hills outside Laramie, Wyoming, savagely beaten and left to die in an act of brutality and hate that shocked a nation. The Tectonic Theatre Project went to Laramie, Wyoming in the aftermath of Matthew Shepard's brutal murder. After two years and two hundred interviews The Laramie Project emerged. Shepard's death became a national symbol of intolerance, but for the people of Laramie the event was deeply personal, and it is 60 of their voices that we hear in this theatre piece.

  • "Remarkable . . (a) probing and distinctive theatre piece. . . assembled with care, compassion and dallops of comic relief..." - Daily News
  • "An amazing piece of theatre. . .Out of the Shepard tragedy is wrenched art." - The New York Post
