I’m writing to you about Grounded, a multi-award-winning play about a female fighter pilot who is grounded when she gets pregnant, and then returns to work as a drone operator.
The play will have its Irish premiere during the Fringe, at Project, Temple Bar, Dublin, 7th-12th Sept, with previews 5th & 6th.
The production is directed by Selina Cartmell (who also directed Bog of Cats currently on the Abbey stage,) and stars Irish actress Clare Dunne The play has been a global phenomenon and won many awards.
We have a pair (yes just one PAIR) of tickets to the September 8 performance to the first Broadsheet reader to name the actress who played the pilot in the US production of Grounded?
Anyone?

Anne Hathaway. Fiach wins. You should have said 100th, more publicity for the play.
Sounds enthralling.

But would love to go
And I promise to share me malteasers wi’everyone
And since I’m an empty nester for the next school year
This wouldn’t be a bad oul’start to the season
Oi!
Where’s me prize?
For the record – I claimed my prize through the Fringe festival, and the show was pretty darn good. A strong production, with brilliant acting, of a powerful play.
