Jean Brodie is an eccentric, egocentric, and charming teacher in an all-girls school in Edinburgh in the 1930s. Brodie believes that she has entered her “prime” in 1930, and this perception influences her teaching, which becomes all the more idiosyncratic and personal. She ignores the standard curriculum and teaches her students about art, culture, and politics in line with her own proclivities. She has her chosen set of students who are known as The Brodie Set, and she manipulates and brainwashes them into following all her ideologies instead of those of the school. The play follows her journey and the consequences of her actions on her set.
