The Laramie Project by Moisés Kaufman
3.0
A play that revolves around revealing the truth, The Laramie Project is orchestrated in a series of interviews, focusing on the message that is said. On October 6th, 1998, 22-year-old Matthew Shepard was driven out to a fence in the woods where he was tied up and beaten into a coma that would later result in his death. All because he was gay.
With over 65 'characters', there are too many individuals to keep straight, but this is the reality. There are hundreds of people that make up a town. Hundreds of people that impact a situation. The events that transpired in Laramie, Wyoming demonstrate just this. Matthew Shepard died at the hands of two hateful and vengeful individuals, but as this play demonstrates, his death was not in vain. The message in this play speaks to millions, educating them on the fact that hatred is unhealthy and that no one should have to die because others disagree with their lifestyle choices. The Laramie Project highlights that Matthew was an individual who saw the light in everything through his last moments alive, and his death has managed to inspire this in readers and audience members alike.
