In their first half-term at Harrow, all new boys are involved in the Shell Drama Festival. Directed by the Sixth Form, boys learn to work as an ensemble with others in their House.

This year’s festival, entitled Crossings, featured a diverse range of stories on the theme of transitions, performed in two grouped showings across the day.

The Ryan Theatre Production team, comprising staff and boys from all year groups, created a striking set featuring a river flowing through and running off the stage and on which the pieces were performed.
