The Laramie ProjectIn October 1998 Matthew Shepard was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. Five weeks later, Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project went to Laramie, and over the course of the next year, conducted more than 200 interviews with people of the town. From these interviews they created The Laramie Project, a chronicle of the life of the town of Laramie in the year after the murder. |
