THE LARAMIE PROJECT
By Moises Kaufman
And The Members of the Tectonic Theatre Project
Crawford Arts Centre
23-26 November 2005
7pm £7/£5

In October 1998 a twenty-one year old student at the University of Wyoming was
kidnapped, severly beaten and left to die, tied to a fence on the outskirts of
Laramie, Wyoming. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this
assault because he was gay. Moises Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic
Theatre Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half
in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men
accused, collecting more that 200 interviews, which they eventually made into a
haunting piece of theatre, chronicling the life of the town, it's citizens, in
the year after the murder.

-There emerges a mosaic as moving and important as any you will see on the wells
of the churches of the world. Nothing short of stunning. You will be held in
rapt attention. A theatrical event not to be missed.

It was excellent, especially powerful scenes in the second half - for instance the angels and the hospital director giving the statement.

Also, Bonnie turns out disquietingly well as a middle-aged woman.
And Seth as a priest.

Why hello there.
