Presented by Red Stitch, the play follows an F16 fighter pilot who is forced out of her career when she gets pregnant. Instead of flying high in the sky, she sits in an air-conditioned tariler in Las Vegas flying remote-controlled drones. The production has been praised for tackling issues of surveillance, warfare in the 21st century and the complexities of family life. 

Grounded was written by US playwright George Brant and picked up a Fringe First award at the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It also won the 2012 Smith Prize, which recongises outstanding achievement in plays focused on American politics.
