It's halfway through the summer term, and sixth-former Shrai is nervous as he becomes the first boy to ever direct a house play. It's an exciting but daunting honour, given West Acre's reputation as the artiest of the houses - but as stress levels rise and his popularity plummets, it seems he may have bitten off more than he can chew. Andreas is also feeling the weight of expectation, trying to meet the demands of being a music scholar, juggling school work and hours of practice with performances in various productions. The latest is the biggest musical event of the school year, which sees thousands of old boys invade the Royal Albert Hall for a nostalgic singalong celebrating everything great about Harrow.
