VOLTA’S production of Hamlet last year in the National Opera House received an outstanding response from the teachers and students who attended so it isn’t surprising that their upcoming production of Macbeth is already heavily booked.

VOLTA is a new company that reinterprets the classics in bold and vivid style. Its founders are Liam Hourican and Jim Roche, who have collaborated for many years in theatre and TV.

Liam Hourican has worked with Shakespeare’s Globe, the Old Vic and Second Age Theatre company and has written and performed sketch shows and comedy drama for Channel 4, RTE and the BBC.

Jim Roche has starred in Normal People (directed by Lenny Abramson (BBC), Harry Wild (Acorn TV) Blood 2 (Virgin Media) Vikings (History Channel), Damo and Ivor, Fair City, Killinaskully, The Mario Rosenstock Show, Dead Still (RTE), The Tudors (Showtime) and iCandy (Channel 4).

Together they have assembled a stellar cast with very high-profile credits to their names.
