In October 1998, a twenty-one-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten, and left tied to a prairie fence outside Laramie, Wyoming. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay.
This theatrical experience is based on the more than 200 interviews that Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project conducted with the people of Laramie, following Shepard’s death.
“The Laramie Project is a breathtaking collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable,” said Dramatist Play Service.

In the wake of their devastating defeat, the women of Troy, all now widows, wait on the beach below the ravaged city to be claimed by their Greek conquerors as slaves and concubines. Though the war is over; exile and degradation lie ahead.
“The fates of these women, including Queen Hecuba, her daughter Casandra, the doomed, mad prophetess, and her daughter-in-law Andromache, widow of the great Hector, are still in the balance,” said Playscripts.
