The Laramie Project

Presenter:

Everyman Theatre

Description:

In 1998, on the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming, 22-year-old student Matthew Shepherd was tied to a fence, savagely beaten, and left to die. In the attack’s aftermath, Laramie became the centre of a media storm. The Tectonic Theatre Company, under the direction of Moises Kaufman, conducted extensive interviews with residents of the town: those directly involved in the attack and those affecting by it. The Laramie Project is a moving look at what happens when an unknown town suddenly becomes synonymous with the words ‘hate crime’. Recreating interviews, witness statements and the trial itself, this is drama in the vein of Angels in America and Gross Indecency (The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde). This production will be directed by Jarrad West and will feature Duncan Ley, Duncan Driver, Samantha Sangston, Steph Roberts, Hannah Ley and Alex Sangston.
