London Assurance is a comedic play written by Dion L. Boucicault and originally published in 1841. The play is set in London and follows the story of Sir Harcourt Courtly, an aging dandy who is engaged to Grace Harkaway, a young heiress. However, Sir Harcourt's plans are complicated when he meets Lady Gay Spanker, a vivacious and flirtatious woman who threatens to ruin his engagement. Meanwhile, Grace is pursued by her cousin, Charles Courtly, who is determined to win her heart. The play is full of witty dialogue, mistaken identities, and humorous situations, making it a classic example of Victorian comedy.
