Based on the best-selling book by the legendary Sue Townsend, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13¾ – The Musical is a brand new stage adaptation. It’s already had success with runs at Curve and the Menier Chocolate Factory, and now it’s almost ready for audiences at the Ambassadors Theatre.
Set in 1980s Leicester, the show is the timeless tale of teenage angst, family struggles and unrequited love, told through the eyes of tortured poet and misunderstood intellectual Adrian Mole.
