The Laramie Project – 10 Years Later
In 1998, a young gay student, Matthew Shepard, was brutally bashed and left to die, tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming.
This shocking hate crime led to the creation of one of the most performed stories across the world over the last decade. In 2008, the creators of this work returned to Laramie to see how the town had changed since Shepard’s death. What they found defied expectation.
The Laramie Project – 10 Years Later is a play about how we tell our own history, how we construct our own identity – and importantly, our omissions, exclusions and the power of rumour.
