Based on the 1892 play Lady Windermere's Fan by Oscar Wilde

Set among the high society of Victorian London, Lady Windermere wishes to remain true to her husband of two years but learns that he has been giving his attentions to a mysterious older woman. The suspected "other woman" is the infamous widow Mrs. Erlynne, who once gave in to the desire for an extramarital affair, and who turns out to be none other than the mother of Lady Windermere. The mother helps save her daughter's reputation without revealing her identity.

After the Ball was the last Coward musical launched in the West End; his last two musicals debuted on Broadway before opening in London.
