National Theatre Wales’ latest production has been getting some fantastic press and word-of-mouth reviews this week – and it stars three very recent graduates from RWCMD.

The Radicalisation of Bradley Manning is the story of the 24-year-old US soldier accused of passing secret documents to WikiLeaks. And three of the six-strong cast are recent graduates of the College. Matthew Aubrey graduated from the BA in Acting in 2009 (his first job after graduating was a lead role in War Horse in the West End), while Gwawr Loader and Anjana Vasan (Fresh Meat) completed the MA course last year.

The Independent on Sunday said it was “snappy and tense, with a terrific young cast”, while The Daily Telegraph said it was “compelling… [a] wired, youthful-feeling production”.

And if you can’t make the remaining few shows, the performances will be streamed live online and you can interact with other viewers while you’re watching it.
