Between the Acts takes place on a June 1939 day at Pointz Hall, the Oliver family's country house in the heart of England. In the garden, everyone from the village has gathered for the annual pageant---scenes from the history of England, beginning with the age of Chaucer and ending with "ourselves," the audience. As the story unfolds, the lives of the villagers also take shape. We learn of the strained relationship between Isa Oliver and her husband, Giles, discontented stockbroker and son of the owner of Pointz Hall. After an ominous formation of warplanes passes overhead, the performers and the audience take their leave, and Giles and Isa are finally left alone. In its juxtaposition of interior life and social life, personal history and world history, Woolf's final novel reveals the richness of what happens between the acts. -- Back cover.
