The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning – a family affair

Chelsea Manning’s mother, aunts and uncle were among those who came to Aberystwyth University’s Foundry Studio last week to see third year Theatre Studies students perform Tim Price’s play The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning, directed by tutor Charmian Savill.

Afterwards, family members met with the cast, sharing their thoughts about the play and some memories before having a group photo taken that will be posted to Chelsea in time for her birthday in December.

The play was hard-hitting, emotionally draining for actors and audience alike and must have been particularly difficult for Chelsea’s family to watch, but they came out feeling positive about the message it had given and impressed with the dedication of the young actors who had put so much into the performance.
