PDF DOWNLOAD Between the Acts Between the
Acts, Virginia Woolf8217slast novel, was
finished in November 1940 and shortly afterwards
delivered to her publisher Hogarth Press. The
following March she committed suicide. Between
the Acts is often an overlooked work in her
oeuvre because she did express her intention to
revise it before publication, though in the event
this never happened. So it comes as a surprise to
find that, while it probably would have benefited
from revision, it is something of an unpolished
gem, at times sparkling and actually very
engaging. The writing is subtle, varied in tone
and purpose at times serious and complex and at
others lighthearted and even downright funny. And
unpredictable. The scene is an English country
house, the home of the Olivers, presided over by
the elderly Bartholomew 8211Bart. The date is
1939, the time of the 8216phney war8217 and
the village comes to the house and gardens for
the annual play put on by the locals. There are
complex relationships within the family, and with
the local villagers in true Woolf style, small
dramas take place, understated but quietly
seismic. And the work is shot through with the
phrase, the observation, the sleight of hand, the
touch that is her special magic. With Bart is his
sister, the sweetly vague Lucy Swithin, his son,
Giles (who works in the city) and
Giles8217unsettled, unsure wife, Isa. Taking
centre-stage in the story are the amateur
theatricals, who undertake to perform three short
scenes devised and directed by the eccentric Miss
Le Trobe. These three separate scenes,
one Shakespearean, one Restoration (a romp this!)
and one Victorian, hold the mirror up to society.
But what to make of them? The threatened
rain holds off so the performances are staged
outside in the garden, but the clouds of war are
perceptible. Georgina Sutton8217srange
and sympathy makes listening to this neglected
work a surprisingly engaging, very English
experience.
