Award-winning theatre maker Victoria Melody joined a historical re-enactment society... because we all deal with divorce in different ways.! 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 then everything changed.
What started out as a personal search for happiness turned into a quest to find the Diggers of today. What she didn't expect was that they'd be found far from the battlefield, right on her doorstep. Back in modern - day Britain doing her day job, she realised The Diggers never really left. They’re still here, still fighting, making change on their own terms.
By blending storytelling and stand-up, past and present collide in this unexpected tale of high jinks. Alongside a community on the frontline Vic steps from re-enactment into reality, where history isn’t just remembered — it’s made.
Directed by Mark Thomas, Trouble , Struggle, Bubble and Squeak celebrates the ordinary people shaping history - then and now. And, like The Diggers, they might leave behind something that will last... if they don’t get caught.
