A woman fighter pilot moves into the ominous world of drone warfare in this dynamic one-woman show. Death is delivered by remote control. Grainy aerial footage, with its accompanying flashes of bright light and grey pixelated explosions, is part of the lexicon of war.
Grounded is the story of an unnamed fighter pilot in the US Air Force who becomes pregnant unexpectedly and is forced to exchange her wide-open sky for a dark military trailer in Las Vegas. “I stare at grey,” she says – 12 hours a day, seven days a week. Brant’s drama examines military life, motherhood, and a world that changes so quickly it’s hard to keep up.
