London: Faber & Faber, 1971. First Edition. Stiff Card Covers. Fine/Near Fine+. First Impression of the playwright's one-act farce inspired by a surrealist painting. Crown 8vo (199 x 113mm): 47,[1]pp. Publisher's wrappers with French flaps over cream-colored stiff card (no case bound issue published) printed in yellow and black. Wrappers a bit dust-soiled and lightened at top edge, but internally our copy is crisp, clean, and tightly bound. First performed by the Ambiance Lunch-Hour Theatre Club at Green Banana Restaurant, in London, on April 9, 1970. Stoppard got the idea for "After Magritte" while writing the radio play Artist Descending a Staircase, which was based on Marcel Duchamp's painting Nude Descending a Staircase. The setting of the one-act is an unidentified René Magritte painting that suggests the artist's L'assassin menacé, a crime scene in which a nude female corpse with blood around the mouth lies on a red chaise lounge, while a man (the assassin?) listens to a gramophone.
