2014 sees the 25th anniversary of the last restoration of The Portland Vase, a Roman glass masterpiece bought by the Dowager Duchess of Portland in 1784. In 1845, while on loan to the British Museum, it was deliberately smashed by a visitor! Our pioneering show 189 pieces is a fascinating and dramatic celebration of the extraordinary and significant 2000 year history of one of the most celebrated and important artifacts at The British Museum. This quirky, fast-paced and witty piece gives us an insight in to the life of The Vase, the places it has been, and the characters it has encountered throughout two millennia of its existence, as well as a few words from The Vase herself!T0473761206Company Maverick Theatre Company.
