A fascinating exploration of personality, \u003ci\u003eGrounded\u003c\/i\u003e is, of course, all the more interesting because the subject of drone warfare is so much in the news...

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, \u003ci\u003eGrounded\u003c\/i\u003e flies from the heights of lyricism to the shallows of workaday existence, targeting our assumptions about war, family, and the power of storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the 2012 Smith Prize, a 2013 \u003ci\u003eScotsman\u003c\/i\u003e Fringe First Prize, and Shortlisted for the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award 2013 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, 2013.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oberon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032303681776,"sku":"9781783190393","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783190393_p0.jpg?v=1769892324","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783190393","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
