First staged in 2005 by the Royal Shakespeare Company, the play begins with the crash of a US military aircraft in a remote valley in a distant country.

The local inhabitants take in the injured pilot and debate his fate, setting in motion a situation shaped by different perspectives on the world.

The American Pilot addresses contemporary global political issues through a clear dramatic structure, allegorical situations and a strong narrative focus.
