Details

In 1998, a gay 21-year-old man was kidnapped, beaten and left tied to a fence outside Laramie, Wyoming. He died several days later.

His name was Matthew Shepard.

In the aftermath, members of the Tectonic Theatre Project conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of Laramie and used those interviews to construct this play.

Twenty-five years after the premiere, this play remains painfully relevant, exploring the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion to which we are capable.
