London Assurance at the National Theatre

Event: London Assurance
Date: March 2nd to the 22nd

When Sir Harcourt Courtly first lays eyes on Grace, a rich and beautiful woman several years his junior, his heart melts.

She seduces him with her effortless sensuality and convinces him to leave the capital to move to the leafier surroundings of Gloucestershire in Dion Boucicault's classic play London Assurance.

The luxury London hotel the 41, however, has the opposite effect on people, drawing them to the city to enjoy a truly memorable stay.

Guests can enjoy a fabulous bottle of Laurent Perrier Champagne in the opulent surroundings, courtesy of the Get More From Your Stay package.

Those who prefer can opt instead to enjoy Champagne afternoon tea, a romantic turndown including chocolate-dipped strawberries and candles, a three-course table d'hote dinner for two or a late checkout until 18:00 GMT.

With accommodation taken care of, visitors can concentrate on enjoying London Assurance, a tale of love, lust and deception.

When Sir Harcourt reaches Oak Hall in Gloucestershire, he marvels at the beautiful woman who stole his heart, that is, until he sees her cousin Lady Gay Spanker.

At the same time, his son turns up after running away from his creditors and immediately falls for Grace, with whom he strikes up a passionate affair.

Lady Spanker becomes wise to the situation and begins formulating her own plan to lead Sir Harcourt astray.
