The Last Act

The Last Act is a short, sharp, sad story from Roald Dahl, the master of the twist in the tale. It is found and often read published within the short story collection Switch Bitch , which includes three other black comedies that capture the ins and outs, highs and lows of sex.
In this tale, Roald Dahl tells a story of human darkness and frailty. Here, a woman's reconnection with an old-flame does not go as expected...
Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been turned into hit films, and even today, Roald Dahl's stories continue to make millions of readers shiver with his brilliant prose.
