Grace Harkaway, who considers herself immune to love, is marrying the elderly Sir Harcourt Courtly for his money. Then she meets his son. Then Courtly meets horse-riding virago Lady Gay Spanker, who enters in her leather-trimmed hunting suit wielding a riding crop, and goes on to complicate the already romantic entanglements of the play. This comedy by Irish playwright Dion Boucicault was first produced in 1841, and was a bridge between Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s comedies of manners from the late 18th Century to the late 19th Century comedies of Oscar Wilde, who was influenced by London Assurance. It has remained popular ever since. City Lit’s production will the play’s first in Chicago since 1897. Cameron Feagin will play Lady Gay Spanker, and Kingsley Day will play Sir Harcourt Courtly.
