Wild Oats Productions is proud present a special performance of The Laramie Project in aid of 17-24-30.
17-24-30 is a new and growing organization founded by Mark Healey to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the London Nail Bomb attacks. Mark wanted to provide a space on-line where as many people as possible could come together to mark the anniversaries of the three London nail bomb attacks in 1999. "17-24-30" represents the three dates the nail bombs were left in Brixton (17th), Brick Lane (24th) and Soho (30th). Mark had three objectives - to bring people together, to support those who were attacked and to challenge hate crime.
On Friday 25th September 2009, Ian Baynham, 62, and a friend were subjected to homophobic abuse in Trafalgar Square, London. When Ian challenged this unacceptable behaviour he was assaulted by three youths: two women and a man. He later died of his injuries on 13th October.
17-24-30 took action to show the world that such Hate Crime is unacceptable and will no longer be tolerated by organising a Silent Candle-lit Vigil. The Vigil took place Friday 30th October on Trafalgar Square and enabled people to come together to show their support to victims of all hate crime and stand shoulder to shoulder to stop this happening again.
Wild Oats Productions is proud to be able to present a special performance of The Laramie Project to raise funds and awareness for this new and expanding organisation.
The Laramie Project returns to The Space following overwhelming critical and public response. Chad Armistead for Extra Extra said 'Joseph C. Walsh's emotionally searing production…easily makes my top three of the year.' The Laramie Project is a vibrant, moving and important docudrama. The playwrights interviewed over 200 people in the year following the murder of gay college student Matthew Shepard, and then edited the work down to 75 voices. The result is a balanced portrayal of how this community coped with this tragic and explosive event and its healing process. THE LARAMIE PROJECT is a breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable. Wild Oats has assembled an incredible cast including: Francis Adams, Jenna Berk, Amy Clarke, Kevin James, Megan Maczko, Meghann Marty, Gemma Nichols, Anton Tweedale, and Adam Unze.
Press on the Off-Broadway Production:
"A pioneering work of theatrical reportage and a powerful stage event." —Time Magazine.
"Astonishing. Not since Angels in America has a play attempted so much: nothing less than an examination of the American psyche at the end of the millennium." —Associated Press.
"There emerges a mosaic as moving and important as any you will see on the walls of the churches of the world…nothing short of stunning…you will be held in rapt attention." —New York Magazine.
