The Laramie Project



Author:  Moises and the Members of Tectonic Theater Project


Publisher:  Vintage Books

Edition:  Print

Where I got the book:  Strathcona High School Library


Publisher's summary:


On October 7, 1998, a young gay man was discovered bound to a fence in the hills outside Laramie, Wyoming, savagely beaten and left to die in an act of brutality and hate that shocked the nation.  Matthew Shepard's death became a national symbol of intolerance, but for the people of Laramie the event was deeply personal, and it is their voices we hear in this stunningly effective theater piece.
