Becky Holloway is a young, smart, ambitious, and goal-oriented figure skater. She can accomplish great things in life...as long as she keeps all of those gifts focused on the right path. But her modest beginnings in picturesque 1941 Stratford, Ontario, might be setting her up for a life of closed doors.
Peter Austen is a successful British actor, who quickly develops a love affair with Becky. Their summers together introduce her to the gay scene and the edgy, bohemian lifestyle of the newly arrived Shakespearean actors. But a season with the Canadian Players pulls Peter to Toronto, leaving Becky to her own devices.
As a result Peter is thrown into the arms of a famous, aging, Toronto diva, with whom he falls hopelessly in love. She toys with him, but rejects his repeated proposals and drives him into depression. However when his career takes a sudden turn and he becomes an overnight sensation, she is suddenly desperate for Peter. When her efforts to make him fall back in love with her fail, she conceives a shocking, devious, vengeful plot to erase him from the world's stage, reflective of one of Shakespeare's own tragedies.
Based partially on real-life events, Final Curtain is a thrilling tale of theatre drama and figure skating. Watch closely as author Avonelle Edwards pulls back the curtain to reveal the offstage lives of performers, in all of their glamor and gore.
