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.​
