Volcano is an independent theatre production company based in Swansea, South Wales. Our HQ is a large former supermarket building on Swansea High Street, where we create and perform original productions and host and support a vast range of creative activity by others and run our own programme of community activities.

Volcano's latest production is Under Milk Wood - a new version of the Dylan Thomas classic the company was once banned from performing.

The company's work is supported by Arts Council of Wales, Garfield Weston Foundation, Postcode Lottery, Austin Bailey Foundation and others.

On the Drama and Theatre degree at Aberystwyth University, you will study what theatre has been in the past, examine what it is the present, and begin to imagine what it might be in the future. Innovatively combining theory and practice and teaching a range of transferable skills, this course will prepare you for work in the creative industries and beyond.

Rooted in Aberystwyth’s celebrated history of innovative and radical performance-making and taught by internationally recognised staff, this degree will help grow your skills as a creative thinker and an articulate practitioner.

Focusing on contemporary performance practice with a global outlook, through this degree you will encounter a range of performance styles and theatrical forms, from scripted stage plays to devised site-specific work, from Shakespearean drama to musical theatre and experiments in new media.
