The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie will be presented in the Drama Lab at Palomar College at 7:30 p.m. on Aprill, 2, 3 and 8, 9 and 10. . The play, a theater adaptation by Jay Allen, is based on Muriel Spark's novel. The setting is a girls' school in Scotland during the 1930's, against a background of troubled Europe. Jean Brodie will be played by Sandy Rankin, Who has returned to the theater after a five-year absence. She portrays a magnetic, idealistic and dedicated school teacher who sets herself above the "common moral code" and, through her example, motivates her selected "student set" to emulate her. Unwilling to surrender her career and ideals as a teacher, Miss Brodie terminates a love affair with Teddy Uoyd, a married art instructor who is the father of five children. Instead, she turns to Gordon U:Jwther, an unworldly and cautious music instructor, and uses him as an outlet for her paradoxical need for - and rejection of - love. Uoyd is played by Jim Matyunas while Stan McGrady plays the part of U:Jwther. Miss Brodie's "student set" includes the precocious Sandy (Robin Wooden), Monica (Alicia Pinkerton), Jenny (Theresa Armagno) and the ill-fated Mary McGregor played by Judy Gouveia. U:Jve, idealism, frustration and destructive jealousy come to the surface and a long searched-for opportunity for revenge is given to Miss MacKay, the school principal, played by veteran community theater actress Helen Hilden.
