In 2010, while serving in Iraq, 24 year old U.S. army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning leaked over 750,000 classified and sensitive military and embassy documents to WikiLeaks.

After spending 2 years in military confinement, much of it on Prevention of Injury watch, Manning was eventually tried and convicted to 35 years imprisonment for violation of the espionage act.

Only a few years previous, Manning was catching the bus to Secondary School in Haverfordwest, Wales and learning about local history.
The play charts Manning's extraordinary journey from Welsh classroom to U.S. army recruitment and deployment to Iraq and imprisonment without charge at Quantico brig, Virginia.

How did this sequence of events happen? And who is responsible for Manning's radicalisation?

(Please note this play contains strong language and violent scenes)
