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.

reviewed The Laramie Project on March 19, 2007 The Laramie Project
Every American should read or see this play. Period. And everyone else should read it too. It is a beautiful, sad, haunting funny biography of a town trying to cope with tragedy. The unsparing honesty of the words, which are taken directly from first-person interviews with real Laramie residents, takes this play out of the realm of Really Good Theatre into something even higher; it's a mirror through which we see ourselves.
I directed this play in Ireland in a town similar to Laramie, and similar to Walla Walla, Washington where I went to school . . . small, old-fashioned, conservative-ish towns with a big liberal college smack in the middle, creating all kinds of unavoidable tension. I was really pleased at the positive reception, which proved that you don't have to be a liberal Democrat American to find great resonance in the story.
Seriously. Everyone should read this play.
