Victoria Melody and Mark Thomas present Trouble, Struggle and Bubble and Squeak (preview)

Award-winning theatre-maker Victoria Melody brings a work in progress of her new show to The Point - directed by the legendary Mark Thomas.
Often described as the Louis Theroux of theatre, Victoria has spent years embedding herself in England’s most passionate niche communities, crafting five hit shows along the way.
Trouble, Struggle and Bubble and Squeak (Preview) is a bold, genre-blurring exploration of history, identity, and grassroots power. Set in Whitehawk, a council estate in East Brighton, the show weaves together the world of historical reenactment societies with the real-life stories of a community fighting for its future. It’s a vibrant mix of passion and humour—a celebration of resilience, unity, and the magic of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

"Victoria Melody should be a national treasure, a household name."
