CAST


In a unique theatrical project, Kaufman and members of his troupe conducted and recorded interviews with townspeople of Laramie, Wyoming in the year after the murder of Matthew Shepard. They constructed this theater piece from segments of the interviews, using only the actual spoken words of the participants. The result is a breathtaking theatrical collage, revealing the impact of an extraordinary event on ordinary people. Their reactions to an act of chilling brutality are by turns unfeeling, indignant, thoughtful, compassionate, but always genuine and surprising.
