It's pretty new! They went back to Laramie in 2008, and got to speak to a lot of the same folks as before, as well as some new people. It doesn't have the same natural narrative arc as the first, and isn't, honestly, as good, but does satisfy the audience's curiosity about how lives were really changed, if at all.
The big coup is that this time, they were able to speak with both of the murderers, and hearing their voices is as fascinating as it is chilling. Ultimately, the play satisfies that need to know what happened next, and while it has some powerful moments (some from the interviews, some great theatrical moments), it's not really on the same level as LP. That being said, it's still Tectonic and worth a look.
