Victoria Melody and Mark Thomas
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, Trouble, Struggle, Bubble and Squeak celebrates the ordinary people still shaping history.
Presented in Swaffham as part of Your Town, My Town, Our Town.
