Repurposed to flying remote-controlled drones in Afghanistan 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, <em>Grounded <\/em>flies from the heights of lyricism to the shallows of workaday existence, targeting our assumptions about war, family, and the power of storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABOUT GEORGE BRANT<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"362\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/04\/george-brant.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/04\/george-brant.jpg 362w, https:\/\/henningbochert.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/04\/george-brant-300x239.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 362px) 100vw, 362px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>George Brant\u2019s plays include <em>Elephant\u2019s Graveyard<\/em>, <em>The Mourners\u2019 Bench, Any Other Name<\/em>, <em>Grizzly Mama, Salvage, Three Voyages of the Lobotomobile, Defiant, Good on Paper and Dark Room. <\/em>His work has been produced and developed by such companies as Trinity Repertory Company, the Kennedy Center, Cleveland Play House, Asolo Rep, Bay Area Playwrights Festival, The Playwrights\u2019 Center, WordBRIDGE Playwright\u2019s Lab, the Hangar Theatre, Equity Library Theatre, Premiere Stages, Florida Studio Theatre, Trustus Theatre, Elemental Theatre Collective, Balagan Theatre, the Drama League, the Disney Channel, Factory Theatre, Debutantes and Vagabonds, StreetSigns Theatre Company, and zeppo theater company, among others.
