Shrek is a third year Mathmo who lives alone in Girton swamp, paying no rent to college except his obligatory contribution. He also happens to be an ogre. When the evil Bursar Farquaad triples rent to pay for the new development, Shrek’s swamp is suddenly invaded by a horde of students looking for a place to stay away from college - along with a talking Squirrel, whose rent in one of the Girton trees has also been raised. Meanwhile, Bursar Farquaad is advised by the Junior Bursar on the Wall that he should marry someone rich to fund a lavish new Bursar’s Apartment in the new court. He chooses Fiona, a third year muso tripos topper who is locked in the U.L. tower by her DoS, a vicious dragon, who wants to ensure that she tops in final year. Shrek and Squirrel journey to Girton and agree to retrieve Fiona in return for the rent going back down, but it may not be as easy as it seems…
