Adrian Mole

Fun for all the family! Adapted by the original author Sue Townsend, this comic play covers the first of the Adrian Mole diaries in which the anti-hero adolescent and undiscovered poet and intellectual tries to deal with his parents' crumbling marriage, his spots, his school, his unrequited love for Pandora and the erratic behaviour of his dog. All this whilst trying to get his poetry accepted by the BBC!

Critics Review

  "Director Lisa May has created a watertight production, 
   filled with beautifully performed songs, and choreography 
   so tight it almost squeaks....A cracker of a show, worthy 
   of a poem from young Mole himself."
   - The Belfast Telegraph

  "Mole still a stage triumph!  Cracklingly comedic....
   supreme gusto, musical prowess and controlled physicality
   ...another all-singing, all-dancing triumph for Bruiser."
   - The Newsletter

  "Another brilliant performance from theatre company Bruiser
   ...the cast members all perform with immense enthusiasm 
   in the intimate setting."
   - The Irish News

  "Bruiser has crafted a hugely entertaining evening, in the 
   distinctively expressionist style to which we have become 
   accustomed."
   - The Irish Times
