ABSTRACT
Moisés Kaufman is a director and all-around theatre maker who is best known for documentary works such as Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde (1997) and The Laramie Project (2000). Although both plays center queer individuals—Wilde and Matthew Shepard, respectively—both pieces use the events surrounding these queer men to look at society at large. In addition to being an important identity marker for Kaufman, his queerness has had a deep impact on every part of his theatrical career and is present in his writing, directing, and teaching work through the Tectonic Theater Project and beyond.
