Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Last Act by Roald Dahl, read by Gillian Anderson.

In The Last Act, Roald Dahl tells a story of human darkness and frailty. Here, a woman's reconnection with an old-flame does not go as expected . . .

The Last Act is taken from the short story collection Switch Bitch, which includes three other black comedies which capture the ins and outs, highs and lows of sex.

Roald Dahl was a spy, ace fighter pilot, chocolate historian and medical inventor. He was also the author of Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG and many more brilliant stories.
