The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 & 3/4 - The Musical. Presented by the Gallery Players

Life’s pretty hard when you’re a 13¾ year-old misunderstood intellectual living in a cul-de-sac in 1981. With dysfunctional parents, ungrateful elders and a growing debt to school bully Bertha Kent, Adrian Mole’s life simply couldn’t get any worse. So when luminous new girl Pandora joins Adrian’s class, things look set to change for our hapless hero. She immediately captures his heart, only for his best friend Nigel to steal hers…

Based on the classic bestselling novel by Sue Townsend, this critically acclaimed West End musical brings Britain’s best-loved spotty teenager’s story to life for a new generation of theatregoers. Directed by Wade Ablitt (The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Gutenberg!) and featuring a cast of Suffolk’s finest performers, The Gallery Players are very proud to be presenting one of the first productions of this hilarious and charming British musical since it’s 2019 West End production.

Book & Lyrics by Jake Brunger. Music & Lyrics by Pippa Cleary. Based on the hit book series by Sue Townsend
