THE LARAMIE PROJECT

BY MOISES KAUFMAN AND THE TECTONIC THEATER PROJECT​

Photographer: David Hooley

Produced in conjunction with The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later as Theatre Travels' Sydney debut

On October 6, 1998, openly gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard was found tied to a buck fence, beaten and unconscious in small town Laramie, Wyoming. After 5 days in a coma, Matthew Shepard died from his injuries, and his murder was denounced as a hate crime – one that brought attention to the lack of hate crime laws in various states of America.

On November 14, 1998, members of Tectonic Theater Project travelled to Laramie, Wyoming, and conducted over 400 interviews with more than 100 residents of the town. The Laramie Project is a portrait of this town: a seemingly average community, dealing with the aftermath of a hate-fuelled crime and questioning what it is that now defines them.​
