Completed by Virginia Woolf a month before her death in 1941, Between the Acts takes place on a June day in 1939. The outbreak of the Second World War has recently created a tension that can be felt even in the English countryside. The possibility of an attack from Nazi Germany is the talk of the English villages, and there is fear of the war spreading to Britain. Nevertheless, in one of the villages, a play with a British historical theme will be performed. Virginia Woolf experiments with an innovative narrative style that can be considered as a pioneer of the postmodern novel by mixing genres such as song, parody and pastiche, Curtain Break is an unforgettable work that puts an end to the oeuvre of a great writer.
