Groping for Words, from the writer of the Adrian Mole books, is set in an adult education centre where Joyce, a newly qualified teacher, is establishing a class to redress adult illiteracy. The stigma of illiteracy is explored with a fine vein of comic indignation. Her pupils, Kevin, George and Thelma reveal the realities of being on the social scrap heap.
