National Theatre Live: London Assurance June 28, 2010

A live broadcast from the National Theatre in London, direct to the Maltings cinema.

London Assurance is a superb and saucy 19th century farce written by Dion Boucicault. This sharp social satire created two of the great comic roles of the English stage - middle-aged fop Sir Harcourt and the object of his mis-placed affections, Lady Gay Spanker.
