“Next year the Curve Theatre in Leicester will premiere The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4—The Musical, with the intention of taking it to London’s West End. The Guardian reported that the late Sue Townsend, who created one of the most popular characters in British fiction in Mole, “advised and encouraged the musical on its near three-year journey.”

“Sue was an absolute dream, she was so supportive and went through everything with us,” said Pippa Cleary, half of the writing team with Jake Brunger. “She gave us all the time in the world to get it right.” (from Shelf Awareness, July 15)
