The Pink Dominos is a farce in three acts by James Albery based on the French farce Les Dominos roses by Alfred Hennequin and Alfred 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 "dominos" of the title are gowns with hoods and masks, worn at masquerades.[2] The piece opened on March 31, 1877 and was exceptionally successful, running for a record-setting 555 performances.[3] Charles Wyndham played one of the husbands and produced the piece at the Criterion Theatre. Augustus Harris played Henry and Fanny Josephs was one of the wives.
