Free and open to the public Drone technology has made the waging of war more mechanized, distanced and detached than ever before.  As a kind of response, George Brant's “Grounded” seeks to illustrate that dropping bombs still involves a very human element.   The play's single character is a U.S. Air Force pilot who after returning from pregnancy leave is reassigned to navigate and deploy drones, which she does from a bunker in the Nevada desert.
