new show, digging up its local roots with a trully radical adaptation of the work of the great Welsh Bard himself, Dylan Thomas. Volcano set a match to MILK WOOD, with its cosy romantic nostalgia, so often portrayed in Thomas' “play for voices.” This mythic incantation to a forgotten corner of Wales has long served as a prison and a weapon in the armoury of Anglo-Welsh culture. We hope to restore the bawdy, the beautiful and the bad, to find a much thornier MILK WOOD. The acclaimed director Branko Brezovec, from Croatia has been specially invited by the company to work on this production, having had a strong influence on the company's style since its inception in 1988. He specialises in working in different genres (opera, multi-media spectacles, metaphysical comedy etc.) in multi-cultural environments and multi-lingual productions. “Volcano rarely make concessions. The company has built up a reputation for integrity and political commitment...they succeed in holding ideas up to scrutiny and make exceptionel theatre.” The Guardian
