The play is based on Christine Keeler's 2001 autobiography "The Truth At Last: My Story", and is described as being produced with her 'sanction and involvement'. The plot covers the period from when Keeler was initially introduced by Stephen Ward to John Profumo, and ends soon after Ward's death from suicide. The play was produced at the Richmond Theatre in 2011 and at the Charing Cross Theatre, London, in late 2013. The Charing Cross production ran until
Profumo affair attention was distracted by the re-emergence of Keeler, in Madrid. She expressed astonishment at the fuss her absence had caused, adding that her friendship with Profumo and his wife was entirely innocent and that she had many friends in important positions. She claimed that she had not deliberately missed the Edgecombe trial but had been confused about the date. She was required to forfeit her recognizance of £40, but no other action was taken against her. Shortly after Profumo's Commons statement, Ward appeared on Independent Television News, where he endorsed Profumo's version and dismissed all rumours and insinuations as "baseless".
