June 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Eight novels later and after the trials and tribulations of growing up, Adrian Mole takes his story onto the stage this summer.

The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole comes to Liverpool’s Unity Theatre in July in what is expected to be a popular musical.

The concept of the stories, following a fictional teenager who documents his years into adulthood, was first created by Sue Townsend. In the first in the eight-part series, called The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 and three quarters, we met the troubled adolescent as he fought over his feelings for the desirable Pandora. There were also candid comments about his parents’ marital troubles and the dog which made compelling reading to teenagers and adults alike.

The next book, The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole, he continues to lust after Pandora as his parents attempt to scar him for life and he’s worried his genius is going unnoticed through a mis-spent adolescence.

The Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole sees Adrian battle with adulthood whilst still trying to win over the affections of Pandora. However still living at home, and clinging to his cuddly rabbit Pinky, life isn’t how Adrian thought it would be.

The fourth book in the series was entitled Adrian Mole The Wilderness Years. This time Adrian has moved on from Pandora to become obsessed with Bianca. He’s in the middle of writing a novel in the hope fame and fortune comes his way.

Adrian Mole The Capuccino Years, sees the character now 30 years old – and a worrier . Will he be a good father? Will be BBC produce his serial killer comedy series that he has been working on? Will he seek fulfilment as a single parent, celebrity offal chef and a novelist? Yet more crazy goings-on in the life of Adrian Mole.

In The Weapons of Mass Destruction, the sixth part in the story, sees him living in Leicester, continuing his writing by scribing letters of advice to Tony Blair. Trying to win the affections of Daisy, it seems he’s not ready to give up his pen just yet.

He turns 33 in The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole 1999-2001 when his half brother Brett arrives on his doorstep and the reality sinks in of life in a new millennium.

Ironically in Adrian Mole The Prostate Years life seems to go back to where it all began. Unable to afford the mortgage on his riverside apartment, he’s forced to move into a semi-detatched converted pigsty next door to his parents. To top it all off, his regular trips to the toilet let him to suspect prostate trouble.
