A solo show blending reenactment, history, and personal storytelling after divorce.
The show follows a performer navigating a personal turning point after divorce by joining a historical reenactment society. While participating as a Musketeer, she discovers the story of the 17th-century Diggers, a radical group advocating for common land ownership. This discovery leads her to explore parallels between past and present, tracing modern forms of grassroots activism and community action.
Written and performed by Victoria Melody, an award-winning theatre maker known for immersive, research-driven work, the production is directed by Mark Thomas (known for political comedy and activism-based performance). The piece combines autobiographical material with historical research and live storytelling.
