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 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’s they we hear in this stunningly effective theater
piece, a deeply complex portrait of a community.
