Book NowAbout Victoria Melody and Mark Thomas present
Victoria Melody and Mark Thomas present Trouble, Struggle, Bubble and Squeak, a show blending storytelling and stand-up. Victoria Melody joined a historical re-enactment society — because we all deal with divorce differently. Spending weekends as a Musketeer, she uncovered the story of seventeenth-century radicals called The Diggers, and everything changed. What started as a personal search became a quest to find The Diggers of today — and she found them not on the battlefield but on her own doorstep. Directed by Mark Thomas. Contains strong language; suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A genuinely personal show that spirals outwards — from divorce to Musketeers to radical history to the people quietly shaping things today. Funny, warm and unexpectedly political.
