The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
By Muriel Spark — Adapted by David HarrowerRoyal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh
& touring
Scottish premiere
At the Marcia Blaine School for Girls, junior-school teacher Miss Jean Brodie is famously in her prime. Each year, Brodie selects her 'set'. The crème de la crème of girls whom she will shape through art and politics, stories of sexual liberation and titillating glimpses of the women they could become. In return, she demands utter loyalty from them all. Witty, seductive and swirling in contradictions, Brodie's mythical ability to invent her own truths and manipulate her girls ultimately leads her to risk everything. In a new adaptation by David Harrower, which sharpens the knives of Spark's extraordinary work, and with a cast led by Gayle Rankin, this visceral production looks head on at our enduring moral fascination with such a beguiling and dangerous character.
