Laramie Project
Laramie Project | Moises Kaufman
4 posts | 20 read | 7 to read
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 hate that shocked the nation. Matthew Shepard's death became a national symbol of intolerance, but for the people of Laramie the event was deeply personal, and it's they we hear in this stunningly effective theater piece, a deeply complex portrait of a community.

This is a play based on the death of M.Shepard who died in 1998 when he left a bar Wyoming with two men. The following day he was discovered at the edge of town: tied to a fence, brutally beaten. He died days later. This play is based on interviews of the community in Wyoming. It is chilling & heart wrenching. And it challenges major phrases, such as "live and let live" and "hate the sin, not the sinner." Ultimately, inherently dangerous phrases.

Notafraidofwords A must read play and a play that should be taught in every school. 8y
TheBookHippie I cried buckets getting through that. Gut wrenching ...necessary. 8y
Notafraidofwords @TheBookHippie it was chilling. I really hope they include this in more school curriculums. 8y

A must read for fostering empathy and a realization that all of us are human, irregardless of our differences.
