A Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch production
Sue Townsend’s
The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾ The Musical
Book and Lyrics by Jake Brunger
Music and Lyrics by Pippa Cleary
A fresh and joyful musical adaptation
Life’s pretty hard when you’re a misunderstood and spotty teenager living in a cul-de-sac in 80s Leicester. Adrian’s life simply can’t get any worse – until new girl Pandora joins a class and captures his heart. But can Adrian win her love and escape from the school bully and his chaotic family life?
Based on Sue Townsend’s best selling book, this outrageously funny tale of teenage angst and unrequited love features one of the most endearing comedy characters of all time.
From the team behind Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Made in Dagenham, this new production of a hit West End musical, based on the classic novels which also inspired the iconic ITV sitcom, has an infectious score that will make you laugh whilst tugging at your heartstrings.
