THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE

About the show

A visceral stage adaptation of Muriel Spark's novel follows Miss Jean Brodie, a charismatic junior-school teacher at Edinburgh's Marcia Blaine School for Girls, renowned for her prime. Each year, Brodie carefully selects an elite group of students—her 'set'—whom she molds through unconventional lessons blending art, politics, and stories of sexual liberation. Demanding absolute loyalty from her girls, the witty and seductive Brodie invents her own truths and manipulates those around her. However, her contradictions and moral ambiguities ultimately lead her to risk everything. This sharp new adaptation by David Harrower, directed by Vicky Featherstone and featuring Gayle Rankin (GLOW, House of The Dragon), confronts the enduring fascination audiences hold for such a beguiling yet dangerous character.
