Set in Edinburgh in the 1930s, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie centers on the title character, a teacher who has progressive and radical ways. She decides to transform a group of young girls into the crème de la crème of Marcia Blaine school, but expects undivided loyalty from these girls referred to as "the Brodie Set" in return. As news of Brodie's illicit personal life and Fascist stands surface, the relationship between her and these impressionable youths turns dangerous. Muriel Spark wrote the popular novel The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, which Jay Presson Allen turned into a play. Scott Elliot directs.
