Colin would encourage her to join the Phoenix Theatre’s writing group in 1978. She was initially shy and did not write for weeks, but was given a fortnight with the task of writing a play that would become Womberang in 1979, a 30-minute drama. She would become the writer-in-residence at the Phoenix and be mentored by different directors such as Ian Giles and Sue Pomeroy, who would end up directing and commissioning a lot of Sue’s plays. She also met Soho Poly’s chairman William Ash, who would also help form her career. When meeting Carole Hayman at the theater, she did not know that they would work on developing theater pieces together. They would also co-write for television together later, writing for “The Refuge” and “The Spinney”. Roberto is the head chef at Savage's when Adrian joins.

Adrian Mole - Penguin Books UK

A theatrical adaptation has been performed in many parts of the world, e.g. by the Roo Theatre in Australia George, like Pauline, is sometimes tactless and inefficient. He has no qualms about showing favouritism for his three children - his favourite was always Rosie, which is why he took it so hard when he discovers Rosie is not his. He does not enjoy talking about his feelings and wants his son to be a "real man", like a computer technician. One of his less attractive qualities is his openly saying that he married Adrian's mother Pauline because of "how good her legs looked in a miniskirt". Albert Adrian Mole is the lead protagonist of the “Adrian Mole” series of novels. He made his first appearance as Nigel in a comic diary in “Simply Magazine” and thereafter in a 1982 “BBC Radio 4” play. The books are written in diary form with some including correspondence as additional content. They provide a humorous and realistic depiction of the life of a teenage boy. They also capture the Thatcher-led zeitgeist of the UK that was one of the most pivotal moments in modern history. Mole was born in 1967 and was brought up in Leicester before he moved to the East Midlands small town of Ashby de la Zouch. He is born to lower middle class, working-class Englishmen and he lived as an only child for fifteen years before the birth of his siblings. He does well in school though he is not that gifted and often suffers from the ire of Pop Eye Scruton the headmaster. While he is not very popular, he has a girlfriend in Pandora Braithwaite and a small circle of loyal friends. He generally keeps out of trouble though he gets in with the wrong crowd at some point. He sees himself as a thwarted Great Writer – an intellectual and does write high-quality diary entries. However, he feels that he needs to adopt avant-garde or other high literary styles if he is to be taken seriously. Unsurprisingly, he has never had his works published. Michael Flowers is the husband of Netta, father of Daisy, Poppy and Marigold and grandfather of Gracie. Michael owns a shop on Leicester High Street, County Organics, selling flower seeds. He votes conservative. He wears his hair in a ponytail, to the point where his granddaughter describes him as "a lady with a beard". Michael is a devout believer of all things organic, and does everything he can to prevent using fossil fuels. He invents a product, Orgobeet Juice, but it is rejected by Dragon's Den, much to his disgust. Michael has three daughters: Daisy, Poppy and Marigold. Daisy is the product of his first marriage to the Mexican Conchita, who left him; Poppy and Marigold are the products of his second marriage to Netta. He is an enthusiastic counter-tenor of the local madrigal society. He hates people from and all things to do with Mexico. Michael has a sister and a nephew. Mrs Parvez runs Kidcare, the nursery school that William attends. She regularly sends notes home with William, asking for money for various expenses. When William asked where birds sleep at night, Adrian and Mrs Parvez gave him different answers, and got into an argument with each other over who was right. Although Mrs Parvez disapproves of Adrian's parenting style, she has great sympathy for William; at one point getting angry when Adrian was very late and heartbroken William thought he had been abandoned. She is also a Liberal representative on the local council. It is unclear whether she is related to Adrian's friend Mohammed Parvez.a b Eady, Piers (11 April 2014).
