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.
