Victoria Melody and Mark Thomas present Trouble, Struggle, Bubble and Squeak
Award-winning theatre maker and “Fringe legend” (Time Out), Victoria Melody joined a historical re-enactment society... because we all deal with divorce differently! Spending weekends as a Musketeer trying to get her head straight, she uncovered the story of a bunch of 17th-century radicals called The Diggers—and everything changed. What started as a personal search for happiness turned into a quest to find the Diggers of today. She didn’t expect to find them far from the battlefield, right on her doorstep. Blending storytelling and stand-up, past and present collide in this tale of high jinks and resistance. Directed by Mark Thomas, this celebrates the ordinary people still shaping history.
