WELCOME to the VOLCANO WEBSITE
CLICK
HERE FOR THIS MONTH'S NEWS!
Volcano is an international touring company of 20 years’ standing that
has produced 25 professional shows and toured to 38 countries from Argentina
to Azerbaijan. Our style is bold, exuberant and contemporary, and our
mission is to make fearless and inspiring theatre for intelligent, imaginative
people of all kinds in Wales, the UK and beyond.
We
have a reputation for energetic, unpredictable and arresting work that
combines strong visual impact, physicality and intelligent text.
Volcano's
theatre is determinedly political, setting itself against the complacent,
the orthodox, and the bland. The company's repertoire ranges from experimental
new writing and devised work to iconoclastic reworkings or deconstructions
of classics.
The
company has toured worldwide with productions such as Romeo
& Juliet, Private Lives, Macbeth–Director's
Cut, L.O.V.E. and How
to Live.
We also run a range of workshops, professional development courses and
community projects in South Wales and beyond.
Volcano Theatre Company was founded in 1987, and is funded by The Arts
Council of Wales. The company also receives project funding from The
Arts Council of England and The British Council.

"It is rare, as a regular theatre-goer in a western
country, to see a taboo aired, broken, stamped on and thrown away
in the space of a few lusty seconds." The Financial Times
