Broadcaster Piers Plowright explores five sound-worlds - some from far back in his life and some more recent - which still resonate with him. In this second episode he revisits Stowe School where, in the 1950's, he fell in love with Shakespeare's language while acting his plays in the open air. Piers compares notes with present day 'Stoics', in the middle of rehearsing this year's Shakespeare productions, to find out what his language means to them. Produced by Alan Hall A Falling Tree production for BBC Radio 4.
