I know you hey. You're the one that's always in the back of the library. Like a little library gremlin. Eating up knowledge. And Haribo... It's a new term at college and, for most of the Sixth Form students, all that matters are mocks, UCAS applications and whether or not Elliot Park and Georgia Smith had sex in the study room at lunchtime. After losing the election for student president, Aicha throws all her energy into the school's 'Extended Physics Project' - or, as she calls it, Space Club. One afternoon, Aicha is surprised by the appearance of the usually introverted and distant Bo, doubling the membership of Space Club. Whilst Aicha is thrilled to have a mysterious new friend, Bo is distracted by the black hole at the heart of her home life. She's worked so hard to launch herself into bigger and better things - but will Grud eclipse her efforts and pull her off course? Sarah Power's Grud is an exploration of pain and addiction in the relationship between a father and daughter. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Hampstead Theatre Downstairs in June 2024.

A* students Aicha and Bo meet during Space Club, and Aicha is thrilled to meet a mysterious new friend - but Bo is distracted by her alcoholic father Grud, the black hole at the heart of her home life.
