Wagner. 28 Jay Presson Allen's play, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, examines the life of an extraordinary woman and teach- er, Jean Brodie, during what she con- siders the prime of her life. Miss Brodie lives her life only through memories of a dead lover and through the lives she envisions for her stu- dents. She molds her students' minds and their ambitions until they wish to become exactly what she dreams they will be. Miss Brodie considers herself the ideal mentor and proudly pro- claims, Give me a girl at an impres- sionable age and she's mine for life. Miss Brodie persuades her most. impressionable and vulnerable stu- dent, Mary MacGregor, to join her brother in Spain in the fight for Fran- co. En route, Mary's train is bombed. Sandy, Miss Brodie's student and confidante, considers her a murderess for sending Mary, even though Miss Brodie tries to glorify Mary's death. To retaliate, Sandy tells the principal that Miss Brodie has been advocating fascism in her class. This leads to the dismissal of Miss Brodie from the oc- cupation she has spent her life in. Devastated by her own girl's betrayal, she screams that she has been assassi- nated. The show was a great success by the audiences' standards as well as by director Michael Lewis'. He was ex- traordinarily pleased with the cast's fine performance and with the re- sponsible and hardworking crews.
