Adrian Mole: The Prostrate Years

Does the neurotic life of Adrian Mole finally reach a happy end? The unlucky diarist finds himself in another set of life-changing circumstances that he once again struggles to understand. As well as battling with personal tragedy in his comic way with his outspoken family attempting to assist him, his career is also under threat as his antiquarian bookstore owner battles to keep up with society. There is also his constant battle against the societal machine; whether it’s attempting to book a medical appointment, seek approval for the publication and performance of his latest script, or battling to assemble a trampoline. It’s about an everyday man who struggles to stand up for himself with devastating consequences for a man who tries to be terribly passive. But there’s still time to take in the modern changing world of today; with political issues such as the beginning of the financial crisis and the smoking ban all begin to make themselves known in this modern account of early twenty-first century Britain.
