The Pink Dominos
The Pink Dominos is a farce in three acts by James Albery based on the French farce Les Dominos Roses by Hennequin and Delacour. It concerns a plan by two wives to test their husbands' fidelity at a masked ball and a mischievous maid who causes comic complications by wearing a gown similar to those worn by the wives.[1] The piece opened on March 31, 1877 and was exceptionally successful, running for a record-setting 555 performances.[2] Charles Wyndham played one of the husbands and produced the piece at the Criterion Theatre. Augustus Harris played Henry, Nelly Bromley was Rebecca, and Fanny Josephs was one of the wives.[3]
