I reluctantly went to see it, cause he’s not a hero of mine, but the show was really good. The actors were amazing, the set was clever, the story was interesting; his actions for releasing secrets of war atrocities are still flawed as far as I’m concerned, but it was interesting to see how everything played out and learn a little bit more about his story; did I mention the staging was amazing. I really did enjoy the play, and the set was really clever.  I recommend for you to go see it, especially if you’re a fan of Bradley Manning’s; he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize so there’s that.
