Review

"Grounded is a powerful, hallucinogenic experience. What makes it imperative viewing is that, rather than being some sci-fi dystopia, everything in Grounded is an urgent, appalling reality: an ethical minefield about which a great deal more noise needs to be made immediately.' --What's on Stage

'It is a searing piece of writing.' --Guardian

'Grounded is impossible to take your eyes off, from start to finish [it] is a play that holds you in its palm and grips you tight - The script is layered and interesting.' --A Younger Theatre
