Currently running off-Broadway at The Public Theater, starring Anne Hathaway and directed by Julie Taymor
"Mr. Brant’s writing [is] taut, terse and concentrated on exposing the fissures that open in the heroine’s confidence and sense of honor... Grounded has a grimly fresh topicality." - New York Times
"Propulsive drama... A fascinating exploration of personality, Grounded is, of course, all the more interesting because the subject of drone warfare is so much in the news... Thought-provoking." - Washington Post
"Brant’s sharp-eyed, timely script... lets no one off easy; it forces the audience into a greater awareness of our own complicity in America’s drifts. Clap all you want at the end of the play—and you’ll want to clap a lot—but the game stays with you." - Time Out New York
"Brant's drama is ready for prime time... Compelling and provocative." - San Francisco Chronicle
"I was blown away... Grounded powerfully focuses on the human element... Don't miss it." - The Nation
"Gripping... A play that challenges us to consider the moral and mortal conflict that is so much a part of our dangerous world... Delivers quite the gut punch... Grounded could not be much more timely." - Baltimore Sun
Seamlessly blending the personal and the political, Grounded tells the story of a hot-rod F16 fighter pilot whose unexpected pregnancy ends her career in the sky. Repurposed to flying remote-controlled drones in the Middle East from an air-conditioned trailer near Vegas, the Pilot struggles through surreal twelve-hour shifts far from the battlefield, hunting terrorists by day and being a wife and mother by night. A tour de force play for one actress, Grounded flies from the heights of lyricism to the shallows of workaday existence, targeting our assumptions about war, family, and the power of storytelling.
Winner of the 2012 Smith Prize, a 2013 Scotsman Fringe First Prize, and Shortlisted for the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award 2013 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, 2013.

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

Drone pilots -- who are they? and why it matters...
By Innocent Bystander
I'd heard about this being presented as a "one woman" theater production.
I never asked the question... "who flies the drones"? Are they pilots? How
do they get this kind of duty assignment? Where are they based? What is
their daily routine like? How is it different than flying aerial missions? What
is the psychological effect of having drone flying as a "job"... does the sense
of a military assignment disappear over time? So I'm framing this review as
a series of questions so as not to have to give a spoiler alert.
For any Vietnam veteran reading this -- it shakes the whole concept of "war".
For an Iraqi - Afghan veteran read this -- there is a sinking feeling of having devolved
into a different definition of soldiering, of serving and protecting.
And then... I think I heard that the play had been hijacked and made into a movie
with a male lead... Not the same! part of the tension in the journey is that this is
the hero's journey taken by.... a woman. And can it still be called... a hero's journey.

One Star
By Amazon Customer
Unrealistic stereotyped characterization of a female fighter pilot and the military. Two dimensional character without any depth.
