Keeler (play) Keeler (play) Keeler is a play written by Gill Adams, which has a plot regarding the Profumo affair and elements of its aftermath. 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
John Profumo memorial service for Sir Edward Heath on 8 November 2005. On 7 March 2006, Profumo suffered a stroke and was admitted to London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. He died two days later surrounded by his family, at the age of 91. In the immediate aftermath of his death, many commentators said that he should be remembered as much for his contribution to society after his fall from political grace as for the scandal of 1963 which caused that fall. He was cremated at Mortlake Crematorium, his ashes buried next to those of his wife at the family vault in Hersham.
