A Prefect's Uncle

A bustling senior day‑room at an English public school sets the stage, where the charismatic yet slightly chaotic Marriott storms in, his luggage thudding onto the table. He quickly engages his faithful servant‑butler William in a rapid‑fire monologue about the looming challenges for the Headmaster, hinting at a school in need of firm leadership. The dialogue crackles with the era’s colloquial charm, introducing Gethryn, the newly‑appointed head of Leicester’s House, whose reputation as a talented sportsman and determined student promises a turning point.

Leicester’s House, once proud in its cricket and football pursuits, now teeters on the brink of decline under a series of weak prefects. The Headmaster, Reverend Beckett, sees in Gethryn a chance to restore order, while the school’s hierarchy of prefectorial duties, rivalries, and youthful ambition swirl around the central drama. Listeners will be drawn into the lively world of school politics, camaraderie, and the subtle humor that underpins the quest to revive a once‑great house.
