“Victoria Melody should be a national treasure, a household name.”
— Time Out
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 is a preview performance celebrating the ordinary people still shaping history. Catch it in London before it heads to the Edinburgh Fringe.
Proudly presented as part of our 50th anniversary year.
