"On October 7, 1988, a young gay man was discovered bound to a fence outside Laramie, Wyoming, savagely beaten and left to die in a shocking act of hate ... In the aftermath, Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project went to Laramie and conducted more than 200 interviews with its people. From the transcripts, the playwrights constructed an extraordinary chronicle of life there after the murder ... Now, in this expanded edition, The Laramie Project : ten years later adds an essential coda to the original work, revisiting the town a decade after the tragedy to find a community grappling with its legacy and place in history"-- Provided by publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Good and powerful submitted by lexinylander on June 23, 2020, 10:31am Reading this was a whole lot in every single way. It made me real emotional in ways I both expected and didn't, but it was masterfully done. I'd love to see it in actual play version at some point in my life. I'm glad I read the 10 years later version too, because that was revelatory. Especially in the folklore sense of how rumors about terrible small town events morph and change over the years.
