After-Piece, short comedy or farce, performed after a five-act tragedy in London theatres of the 18th century, partly to afford light relief to the spectators already present and partly to attract the middle-class business men and others who found the opening hour of 6 p.m. too early. Half-price was charged for admission. The after-piece was often a full-length comedy cut to one act, but many short plays were specially written for the purpose by
Garrick,
Murphy,
Foote, and others.
