This docudrama tells the true story of Mathew Shepard, a young gay
man, who on October 7, 1998 was savagely beaten and left to die on a
fence in Laramie, Wyoming. A month after the crime, members of the
Tectonic Theater Project traveled from New York City to Laramie and, in
six trips over a year and a half, conducted over 200 interviews with
local residents. These interviews and other found texts, including the
actors’ own journal entries, became the enacted script. Considere
d
a “hate crime,” the event galvanized the American public and this small
Western community and raised important questions about tolerance and
how we raise our children.
The Laramie Project is one of the most produced and widely acclaimed
plays across the American Theater circuit. And now it comes to Nepali
Theater scene, produced by One World Theater and jointly directed by
Deborah Merola and Divya Dev, starring celebrated Nepali Theater artists
like Rajkumar Pudasaini, Divya Dev, Shanti Giri, Sulakchyan Bharati
etc.
