Grounded

I produced a tour of Gate Theatre’s production of Grounded to 28 theatres across the UK in 2014 and 2015.

Grounded - written by George Brant, director by Chrstopher Hayden perfotmed by Lucy Ellinson - was an award-winning, gripping show that targets our assumptions about war, family, and what it is to be a woman.

She’s a hot-rod F16 fighter pilot. She’s pregnant. Her career in the sky is over. Now, she sits in an air-conditioned trailer in Las Vegas flying remote-controlled drones over the Middle East. She struggles through surreal 12 hours shifts far from the battlefield hunting terrorists by day and being a wife and mother by night.

‘Nothing short of mesmerising.’ Sunday Telegraph

‘A searing piece of writing, and gets the blistering performance it deserves from Lucy Ellinson.’ The Guardian
