Synopsis
From the award-winning playwright of Elephant's Graveyard, George Brant, comes the story of an ace fighter pilot who's career in the sky is ended early due to an unexpected pregnancy. Reassigned to operate military drones from a windowless trailer outside Las Vegas, she hunts terrorists by day and returns to her family each night. As the pressure to track a high-profile target mounts, the boundaries begin to blur between the desert in which she lives and the one she patrols half a world away.

Review
"Brant’s dialogue is bright and textured. Snappy storytelling is punctured by dark edges, mess-hall humour and burst of lyrics beauty." Financial Times
"Grounded is a riveting, award-winning monologue. George Brant’s script is punchy and poetic, subtly raising questions about 21st-century heroines " Independent on Sunday
"Grounded is a powerful, hallucinogenic experience. What makes it imperative viewing is that, rather than being some sci-fi dystopia, everything in Grounded is an urgent, appalling reality: an ethical minefield about which a great deal more noise needs to be made immediately." What's on Stage
"It is a searing piece of writing." Guardian
"Grounded is impossible to take your eyes off, from start to finish [it] is a play that holds you in its palm and grips you tight The script is layered and interesting." A Younger Theatre
"We’re gripped from the first lines of George Brant’s snappy, sparky staccato script. Outstanding..." Evening Standard
"It’s a fine, thoughtful and empathic piece of writing." Time Out London
"What makes Brant’s play exceptional is its driving, white-hot sense of identification with a woman who is not, on the face of it, a sympathetic character." Scotsman
"Grounded is a striking piece of monologue theatre an incredibly evocative play. Brant’s play navigates a problematic terrain with dramatic skill." Exeunt
