Returning to Adelaide Fringe after a smash-hit 2019. Starring award-winning actress Martha Lott, directed by Poppy Rowley, written by George Brant & by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. comes the story of an ace fighter pilot whose career in the sky is ended early due to an unexpected pregnancy. Reassigned to operate military drones from a windowless trailer outside Las Vegas, she hunts terrorists by day and returns to family by night. As the pressure to track a high-profile target grows, the boundaries begin to blur between the desert in which she lives and the one she patrols half a world away.
