His bloody, bruised and battered body was not discovered until the next day
He died several days later in an area hospital
His name was Matthew Shepard
He was the victim of this assault because he was gay
Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard
They conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town
Some people interviewed were directly connected to the case, and others were citizens of Laramie
The breadth of their reactions to the crime is fascinating
