The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning - at Calday Grange
Bradley Manning, as most people know, is a 24-year-old US soldier accused of releasing 250,000 secret cables and logs about the Iraq and Afghan wars to WikiLeaks. What is less well known is that he spent over two of his early teenage years at school in Haverfordwest after his Welsh mum split up with his American dad.
I played Bradley Manning at age 17 when he was in school (I was 16 at the time), and I dyed my hair especially for the part
It was a challenging role, but I performed well, brnging aspects of rage, victimhood, and Manning's idealism to the performance.
