Harris: Gentleman and Players

Gentlemen and Players is set in St Oswald’s, an old and long-established boys’ grammar school in the north of England. A new year has just begun and for the staff and boys of the school, a wind of unwelcome change is blowing. Beneath the little rivalries, petty disputes and everyday crises of the school, a darker undercurrent stirs.

A bitter grudge, hidden and carefully nurtured for thirteen years is about to erupt. Who is mole, the mysterious insider whose cruel practical jokes are gradually escalating towards violence- and perhaps murder? Can an old and half forgotten scandal become the stone that brings down a giant?
