No one in Barker's generation did more to change British Theatre In The Voysey Inheritance, a young man deals with the discovery that the inheritence due to him has been mismanaged by his own parents, A Waste (banned by the Lord Chamberlain) deals with a young man's life thrown away, The Secret Life is a portrait of spendthrift, indolent Edwardian aristocracy, Rococo is a one-act farce set in a vicarage and Vote by Ballot shows the teething troubles of mass democracy.
