    Brant’s writing [is] taut, terse and concentrated on exposing the fissures that open in the heroine’s confidence and sense of honor... Grounded has a grimly fresh topicality." - New York Times"Propulsive drama... A fascinating exploration of personality, Grounded is, of course, all the more interesting because the subject of drone warfare is so much in the news... Thought-provoking." - Washington Post"Brant’s sharp-eyed, timely script... lets no one off easy; it forces the audience into a greater awareness of our own complicity in America’s drifts. Clap all you want at the end of the play—and you’ll want to clap a lot—but the game stays with you." - Time Out New York"Brant's drama is ready for prime time... Compelling and provocative." - San Francisco Chronicle"I was blown away... Grounded powerfully focuses on the human element... Don't miss it." - The Nation"Gripping... A play that challenges us to consider the moral and mortal conflict that is so much a part of our dangerous world... Delivers quite the gut punch... Grounded could not be much more timely." - Baltimore SunSeamlessly blending the personal and the political, Grounded tells the story of a hot-rod F16 fighter pilot whose unexpected pregnancy ends her career in the sky. Repurposed to flying remote-controlled drones in the Middle East 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, Grounded flies from the heights of lyricism to the shallows of workaday existence, targeting our assumptions about war, family, and the power of storytelling.Winner of the 2012 Smith Prize, a 2013 Scotsman Fringe First Prize, and Shortlisted for the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award 2013 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, 2013.

    It is hard to believe that over 25 years have passed since A Chorus Line first electrified a New York audience. The memories of the show's birth in 1975, not to mention those of its 15-year-life and poignant death, remain incandescent and not just because nothing so exciting has happened to the American musical since. For a generation of theater people and theatergoers, A Chorus Line was and is the touchstone that defines the glittering promise, more often realized in lengend than in reality, of the Broadway way. This impressive book contains the complete book and lyrics of one of the longest running shows in Broadway history with a preface by Samuel Freedman, an introduction by Frank Rich and lots of photos from the stage production.
