Interpretation As Books The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later

This is a fitting epilogue to one of the most important plays ever written. It's crazy to see how in just 10 years people have forgotten the brutality of the crime and that many have written it off as just a robbery. Before I read this "sequel" of sorts, I thought it was unnecessary to continue the storyline but I now completely disagree. Matthew Shepard's story needs to be told because the battle is not yet over and this is a man whose life was destroyed just because who he loved. Though it's not as powerful as the previous play, Ten Years Later is a heartbreaking, tragic and brilliant play. I can't recommend this play enough and Judy Shepard and Aaron McKinney's testimonies alone make this one a worthwhile read.

Crit Out Of Books The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later

Though it's nice to check in with some of the figures from the first part of the Laramie Project, the second feels at once more like a traditional play, and less like the visionary, heartfelt exploration of a small town tragedy that shook the world. The material is well presented, but the hand of the writers is much more evident, often resulting in a reduction of the authenticity (or perceived authenticity, at least) that helped make the first play so compassionate, and so devastating. While

Just as heartbreaking and life-changing as the first one.

Good though it lacked the power of the original. In staged reading.

It's a strong script, but it just doesn't capture that lightning in a bottle that the original script has. I suppose it is troubling to see how slow society changes, but it also seems to lack the warmth and sense of optimism that was scattered throughout the original.

I personally liked this play better than The Laramie Project original. However you can't read THIS play unless you read the original. It's all a matter of personal preference anyway. But this is a very deep story and it was interesting to see their opinions 10 years in the future, especially the opinions of the perps.

2.5The information presented here is fascinating and would make for a good chapter in a nonfiction account of Laramie and Matthew Shepard, but it makes for a pretty lousy play. There is no story here at all, just a few random scenes whose only relation is the topic. It has none of the power, tenacity, or emotion of the original play with the exception of two scenes involving interviews of the convicted Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson. These scenes have a tremendous sense of illumination of
