Jay Presson Allen (1922–2006)

A classic play in which a teacher at a girl's school has different ideas about proper education than the school. She challenges the girls to be what she wishes them to be, and attempts to mold them in her image. It is an interesting work, well developed, with characters that are familiar and strange at the same time. They represent another time, another place, but are nonetheless timely. It is a thought-provoking work, because it leaves you wondering who, if anyone, you can root for or agree show more with. The characters are not sympathetic, but you still find yourself drawn to them as characters, and you won't put it down immediately. show less

Miss Jean Brodie teaches at a girls' boarding school in Scotland. She is a woman "ahead of her time" (the 1930's). She thinks Mussolini is a grand man, is given to quoting Robert Burns, and declares her intention to make free thinkers of all her students. She is convinced that she is among the Philistines. She is utterly self-absorbed, and absolutely certain she is superior to all her colleagues. She is a tornado tearing up the lives around her: her heedlessness leads to tragic show more consequences.

A very good drama in three acts. I ended up feeling sorry for and despising Miss Brodie all at the same time. show less
