The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Jay Presson Allen, adapted from the novel by Muriel Spark


Go and see it for a great night’s entertainment
— Jackie Chappell, Bath Chronicle

At the Marcia Blaine School for Girls in Edinburgh Miss Jean Brodie teaches her favourites, the "creme de la creme", to follow an alternative curriculum, one which celebrates beauty, secrecy, conspiracy and anti-establishment views. Her philosophy is: "Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she is mine for life". 

Four pupils, the sharp-tongued Sandy, beautiful Jenny, quick-witted Monica and hapless Mary, struggle to make sense of Miss Brodie's world. As for Brodie herself, her manipulative and duplicitous ways lead ulitmately in this gripping play to her own destruction...brought about by one of her very own "girls".

Continuing Next Stage's 15th Birthday year of memorable productions, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie has an outstanding cast led by Caroline Groom as Jean Brodie and Joanna Bowman as Headmistress Miss Mackay. Joining the adult actors are twelve talented Next Stage Youth members playing the Marcia Blaine pupils. 

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is an unmissable production by a company in its very own "prime".
