3.13* The Interval
A Private School in the South by John Usborne
After teaching for nearly twenty years at an English Public School, John Usborne has joined the staff of a 'prep' school (America's nearest equivalent) in the Southern state of Virginia. Shakespeare in a Southern accent (he plays a recording of the Gravedigger's Scene, from Hamlet) is only one of the differences he has found.
(Recorded in the U.S.A.)
