"London Assurance" - live performance

By Dion Boucicault - a funny and absolute corker of a comedy, one that will be talked about and chuckled over with reminiscent affection for years to come.
Sir Harcourt Courtly is lured away from fashionable London by the promise of rich and beautiful Grace who is several decades his junior. At Oak Hall, Gloucestershire, he marvels at this rural Venus until her charms are eclipsed by her hearty cousin, the foxhunting Lady Gay Spanker. In the meantime his disguised son turns up in flight from his creditors and falls head over heels for Grace. When Lady Spanker discovers the young couple, she needs little prompting from the visiting chancer Dazzle to lead Sir Harcourt astray.
Dion Boucicault, the Irish genius of London theatre in the age of Dickens, wrote the brilliantly funny London Assurance in 1841 and thereby created – in Sir Harcourt and Lady Spanker – two of the great comic roles of the English stage, played at the NT by Simon Russell Beale and Fiona Shaw.
Among the many actors are:
Simon Russell Beale as Sir Harcourt Courtly
Michelle Terry as Grace Harkaway
Fiona Shaw as Lady Gay Spanker
Matt Cross as Richard Dazzle
