Public Theater's GROUNDED, Starring Anne Hathaway, Begins Tonight

The Public Theater begins previews for George Brant's Grounded tonight, April 7.

Directed by two-time Tony Award winner Julie Taymor and featuring Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway, Grounded will run through Sunday, May 17 in the Anspacher Theater, with an official press opening on Sunday, April 26.

In Grounded, an ace fighter pilot reassigned to a remote-controlled drone faces 12-hour shifts hunting targets from her Air Force trailer followed by 12 hours in the suburbs with her family in this award-winning new play about the complicated consequences of waging war without leaving home. Named one of the Best Plays of the year by both London's The Evening Standard and The Guardian, and winner of the Smith Prize for Political Theater.
