The Royal Baccarat Scandal

Based on the book by Michael Havers and Edward Grayson, and first seen at Chichester and subsequently at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London, in 1989, the play dramatizes the Victorian scandal of 1890 in which Sir William Gordon Cumming, a baronet and personal friend of the Prince of Wales, was accused by his mistress's husband of cheating at baccarat.
