Tim Price’s The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning was first performed in schools across Wales, in April 2012. It tells the story of the 25-year-old US soldier accused of releasing 250,000 secret embassy cables and military logs from the Iraq and Afghan wars. How did he go from being a teenager in West Wales, to this?
Here, you can watch interviews with director John E McGrath, writer Tim Price, designer Chloe Lamford and actors Matthew Aubrey and Gwawr Loader.
To help study The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning, we think it’s important that teachers and students talk about Trans identity and awareness. In real life, Bradley Manning is Chelsea Manning. When we refer to Bradley Manning, we’re referring to the character in the play.
To enrich your understanding of the play, and gender identity, we’ve created the following resources with the help of Trans Consultant, Kay R. Dennis and Theatre Director, Facilitator and Writer, Nerida Bradley.
