Saturday 21 Feb | 7pm | Bewbush Community Centre, Dorsten Square, Bewbush, Crawley, RH11 8XW
Following her residency at Freeshop Crawley in Bewbush, award-winning theatre maker Victoria Melody brings her latest show to the community.
Victoria 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 show celebrates the ordinary people still shaping history.
Ages 14+
Running time is 60 minutes. There will be a Post-Show Question & Answer with FreeShop Crawley and Victoria Melody. This will be approximately 20 minutes. Whole event finishes at 8.30pm.
Tickets are £2.50 with donations to Freeshop welcome on the night.
