The Laramie Project was constructed from hundreds of interviews following the murder of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard in Laramie, Wyoming. Denounced as a hate crime, Shepard’s murder brought attention to the lack of hate crime laws in various states. Within its verbatim structure, The Laramie Project is high drama, capturing tragedy, innocence, grace outrage and a moment for conversation and moments of change. It was and is a play and a warning for our time.
