George Brant’s Grounded explores the ethical complexities of military drone use through the story of an Air Force pilot who, after the birth of her daughter, is re-commissioned to pilot drones over Afghanistan from the Nevada desert. The play reveals the devastating costs of contemporary warfare, as well as the possibility for empathy through systems of global surveillance.
