Website and Video Recommendation
The Boy from Centreville

Jill Wadsworth recommends that you look at this website and watch the video documentary.
The Boy From Centreville, a devised theatrical piece, tells the story of the Virginia Tech shooting, and the lead-up to it, using verbatim text, cutting edge video and sound, and ensemble movement. This remarkable show blends the suspense of a horrific thriller with the impact of graphic documentary to explore this event. This is an emotionally resonant and beautiful hour of pure theatre. Directed by Catherine Alexander for the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

A documentary video about the making of this piece along with links to more detailed background information, both on the Virginia Tech tragedy and on rampage shootings, can be found on The Boy From Centreville site.
