About
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.
Victoria Melody and Mark Thomas present Trouble, Struggle, Bubble and Squeak
Commissioned by Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival with financial support from East Brighton Trust, Creative Crawley as part of Creative Playground, Keep It Fringe and The Spring. Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
