Afternoon Play: Little Lives

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A funny and moving monologue, written by the Whitbread Prize-winning novelist Kate Atkinson, in which Alannah McKay from Edinburgh is retiring after 32 years of teaching. "My last week of teaching, the last ever. Fancy that. One minute you're just out of training college standing nervously in front of your first class and you turn around and.... it's all gone.... Everything passes, that's what they say, don't they?"
