Presented by our Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12 Redfoot members, The Laramie Project is a play by Moisés Kaufman and the Tectonic Theatre Project in response to the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard of Laramie, Wyoming.

Kaufman and the other company members visited Laramie on six occasions and interviewed residents, members of the police force, and Matthew’s friends, in an attempt to understand what happened, and why. They were also interested in the possibility that theatre, more than any other medium, would allow people to engage with and reflect on the issues brought to public attention by Matthew’s murder, such as homophobia, hatred, intolerance, and fear; whilst also promoting the message of acceptance, tolerance, hope and compassion for others and how we can work collectively to build a more understanding and compassionate community.

This play is recommended for ages 15+ and is suitable for Mature Audiences Only. This play is based on a true story and includes descriptions of homophobia, reference to murder, assault and physical violence, strong language and mature content.
