Rococo

The brilliant short comedic play “Rococo” by Harley Granville Barker explores inheritance law, objets d’art, and family strife. The focal point of the play is a Rococo vase with a fascinating backstory that the family acquired through the German Emperor and a recently departed ancestor. Barker crafts an engrossing story that examines interpersonal relationships and secretive information through this prism of art and intrigue.
