In 1998 Matthew Shepard\, a twenty-one-year-old gay student registered at the University of Wyoming\, was tied to a cattle fence\, beaten about the head\, robbed and left to die on a bitterly cold night in October. \nThe play is based on more than 400 interviews with about 100 Laramie residents\, as well as journal entries from the members of Tectonic Theatre Project and Kaufman\, as they reflect on their own reactions to the crime and to the interviews they carried out. Structured as a documentary\, it attempts to reenact the events that occurred on that fateful night. Was this a hate crime? Or was it a random\, senseless assault and robbery? No matter which\, Kaufman'\;s objective was to explore the issues of homosexuality\, religion\, class\, economics\, education\, and non-traditional lifestyles through the residents'\; raw responses to the incident.
