Synopsis
An unexpected pregnancy ends an ace fighter pilot’s career in the sky.
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.
Grounded was first produced in a rolling world premiere by SF Playhouse (California), Borderlands Theatre (Arizona), and Unicorn Theatre (Missouri) as part of the National New Play Network’s Continued Life Program.
Press Reviews
"Grounded is a heartbreaking, beautiful, necessary and perfectly-structured solo drama […] an essential story for our times."
