Nicola Cavendish to direct production of The Laramie Project at UBC

Thursday, 12 November 2009

Canadian actress, director, playwright and University of British Columbia (UBC) Theatre alumna, Nicola Cavendish will direct a production of The Laramie Project November 18th through 28th at the Frederic Wood Theatre at UBC.

The Laramie Project examines the story of a gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard. In October 1998 Shepard was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie Wyoming. Five weeks later, Moses Kaufman and fellow members of New York City's Tectonic Theatre Project went to Laramie and over the course of a year conducted over 200 interviews with it's inhabitants. The resulting play chronicles the life of the town in the year after the murder. It has since become a lightning rod for gay rights and the establishment of hate-crime laws.

Returning to her alma mater, the award winning Cavendish will direct a cast of fifteen UBC Bachelor of Fine Arts acting candidates in this production.
