Award-winning theatre maker and “Fringe legend” (Time Out), Victoria Melody joined a historical re-enactment society… because we all deal with divorce differently!

She uncovered the story of 17th-century radicals, The Diggers, and realised their spirit never really left. Blending storytelling and stand-up, past and present collide in this tale of high jinks and resilience.

Directed by Mark Thomas, this extraordinary show celebrates the ordinary people still shaping history – they might just leave something that lasts… if they don’t get caught.
