Award-winning theatre-maker Victoria Melody brings a work in progress of her new show to the Fringe—directed by the legendary Mark Thomas.

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

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.

Re-Enactment 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 re-enactment 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.
