On October 6th 1998 Matthew Shepard was beaten and left to die tied to a fence in the outskirts of Laramie, Wyoming. A month after the murder the members of Tectonic Theater Project set out for Laramie and conducted interviews with more than 200 residents. The resulting play, The Laramie Project, has been seen by more than 30 million people around the country. Ten years later, the original team returned to Laramie to interview the same people and discover how Laramie has changed: politically, socially, religiously and educationally. The new interviews have been crafted into an Epilogue to the original.

      Sad to say the Laramie Project: 10 Years Later at ArtsEmerson left me a bit cold. Filled with deeply interesting observations and tid-bits of information on the bending and re-interpreting of the events connected to the murder of MS, in my opinion the production failed to ignite. Flat performances were to blame as the characterizations of those portrayed were undifferentiated. Slipping on a brown jacket or blue sweater and donning this or that hat just doesn't infuse enough into the mix. I believe the director chose this stolid, sincere style which resulted in something less than drama, scarcely more than a reading of the material. Too bad because the observations that revolved around the local soft-pedaling of the hate crime aspect as the years passed was an enormous surprise. Best moments: the portrayals of the interviews with the killers-two serious "banality of evil" moments. There just wasn't enough depth to the performances to fully realize the complexity of the story. Collapse
