Have you any idea what it's like to be unable to read and write in today's world of modern technology?
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.
