Get ready to see war from a totally different perspective. You will not want to miss the Michigan premiere of 'Grounded' just weeks after the close of its New York run! Directed by Phil Powers and starring Deborah Keller, this thoroughly engrossing one-woman show by award-winning playwright George Brant takes a timely and powerful look at the ethics and costs of fighting wars by remote control. A fighter pilot, upon becoming pregnant, is reassigned to operating drones from a windowless trailer, and finds the experience more taxing and troubling than flying combat missions.
Oscar winner Anne Hathaway recently starred as The Pilot at the Public Theatre in New York, under the direction of Julie Taymor, and that production closed just two and a half weeks before Theatre Nova’s will open.
The New York Times’ Charles Isherwood wrote that the play “draws a nuanced and haunting portrait of a woman serving in the United States Armed Forces coming under pressure as the human cost of war, for combatants as well as civilians, slowly eats away at her well-armored psyche.” In an interview with NPR, Taymor called the subject matter “invigorating and disturbing,” and noted that drone pilots “have to sit and linger over the bombs that are dropped … They are safe physically, but their minds are not safe."
"A searing piece of writing...gripping...a must-see." - The Guardian
“Five Stars. Outstanding.” – The London Standard
"As close to perfection as is possible to imagine...Grounded is a powerful, hallucinogenic experience." - What's On Stage
(You Lansing-ites who have enjoyed Deborah Keller’s work at LCC, Peppermint Creek and Riverwalk may want to make the trek to Ann Arbor for this exciting new show. - Jane)
