Amy Liptrot’s bestselling memoir is brought to life in an epic and elemental world premiere.

Give me a girl at an impressionable age, and she is mine for life’  

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 an adaptation by David Harrower, which sharpens the knives of Spark’s extraordinary work, and with a cast lead by Gayle Rankin (Glow, House of The Dragon), this visceral production looks head on at our enduring moral fascination with such a beguiling and dangerous character.
