About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of London Assurance by Dion Boucicault. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. This fast-paced Victorian farce is at heart a comedy of manners. Dion Bouciault’s witty dialogue ridicules the pretensions of society as the plot sets up the unpleasant initial situation of the aging, vain Sir Harcourt Courtly being set by a special provision of her father’s will to marry 18-year-old Grace Harkaway. The situation quickly escalates upon their arrival at Oak Hall to seal the engagement as more increasingly zany minor characters are added and romantic complications ensue. Double courtship and comic deception abound in this high-spirited comedy. (Summary by Kelly S. Taylor) Cast List Sir Harcourt Courtly Andrew James Charles Courtly Cavaet Dazzle Adrian Stephens Max Harkaway ToddHW Grace Harkaway Elise Dee Lady Gay Spanker Kelly S.
