Book Reviews of The Laramie Project
Book Review: A Beautiful Tragedy
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book here on Amazon just as something interesting to read between classes. Little did I know that I would open it the day I got it and finish it before the next night. This is a great play, and the fact that it is based off of true events and dialogues make it that much more intriguing. I must say however, this tale of a life cut short left me somewhat heartbroken-because it is painfully real. I could completely relate to this play and I already have multiple friends and acquaintances asking to borrow it. I recommend this to anyone and everyone (above the age of 15) and I hope this story continues to speak to the nation and inspire change and consideration to everyone who touches it's cover.
Summary of The Laramie Project
For a year and a half following the murder of Matthew Shepard, Moises Kaufman and his Tectonic Theater Project-whose previous play, Gross Indecency, was hailed as a work of unsurpassed originality-conducted hundreds of interviews with the citizens of Laramie, Wyoming, to create this portrait of a town struggling with a horrific event.The savage killing of Shepard, a young gay man, has become a national symbol of the struggle against intolerance. But for the people of Laramie-both the friends of Matthew and those who hated him without knowing him-the tragedy was personal. In a chorus of voices that brings to mind Thornton Wilder's Our Town, The Laramie Project allows those most deeply affected to speak, and the result is a brilliantly moving theatrical creation.
