The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
Royal & Derngate, Northampton and Assembly

Where:  Assembly @ Assembly Hall
Assembly Hall

Adapted by Jay Presson Allen from Muriel Spark’s novel. 1930s Edinburgh and the scandalously outspoken teacher, Miss Jean Brodie, demands utter devotion from her girls. The school’s crème de la crème are enraptured by their charismatic leader, but when her frank sensuality creates bitter rivalries and her passion for all things Italian embraces fascist politics, she is in danger of destroying herself and those around her. This bold new production stars Olivier Award nominee, Anna Francolini, as the extraordinary Jean Brodie and revisits a classic story of seductive and manipulative power in startling fashion. 'You won’t see a better performance on any stage in Britain right now than that delivered by Anna Francolini - simply mesmerising' BIRMINGHAM POST 'Scenes of sheer brilliance and extraordinary magnetism' THE STAGE

There are no more performances of this show in 2009.
