"Grace has agreed to marry Sir Harcourt in return for his financial support of her family. At a house party in her father's place, Harcourt's son Charles also falls in love with Grace. When his father appears on the scene, he has to convince him that there is a case of mistaken identity and he is somebody else. Then Lady Gay Spanker, a married woman also visiting at the house, is persuaded by Charles to seduce his father and thus divert his attention from Grace. Much confusion and scheming ensues. Originally written by Dion Boucicault, this is a new version by Richard Bean which premiered at the National Theatre in 2010. Nicholas Hytner directs Simon Russell Beale and Fiona Shaw in this new version of the classic comedy about life, love and mistaken identity in 19th Century London"--Bloomsbury Drama Online
