Britain's What's On Event Guide
Trouble, Struggle, Bubble and Squeak by Mark Thomas & Victoria Melody
“Victoria Melody should be a national treasure, a household name.”
— Time Out
Award-winning theatre-maker Victoria Melody, directed by the legendary Mark Thomas, blends storytelling, comedy, elaborate costumes, and historical re-enactment to celebrate Britain’s ordinary heroes.
Shining a light on food bank workers, volunteers, and community organisers, it explores the people who quietly keep the country running. Through immersive research and first-hand experience — becoming a musketeer included — Victoria uncovers the passion, struggle, and humour in everyday lives.
With her signature wit and curiosity, she invites audiences to see the world differently, offering a joyful and unexpected take on who really shapes Britain.
