Information - Trouble, Struggle, Bubble and Squeak

Past and present collide in this tale of high jinks and resistance!

Award-winning theatre maker 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.

Commissioned by Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival with financial support from East Brighton Trust, Creative Crawley as part of Creative Playground, and Keep It Fringe.

Supported using public funding by Arts Council England. Developed with Crew Club, East Brighton Food Co-op, Friends of Whitehawk Hill, The English Civil War Society and Woolly Umbrella.

This event is part of the In the Works Festival – a vibrant celebration of bold new ideas and the very best local, regional and national artists. From theatre and music to art and spoken word, the festival offers audiences a vibrant mix of bold new writing, works‑in‑progress, experiments, and one‑off events.
