The Dueling Critics review The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, on stage now at Chopin Theatre. The play follows teacher Jean Brodie who takes her young pupils under her wing, throwing down the textbooks and attempting to mold them in her own image. It’s based on the successful novel of the same name. Dueling Theater Critics Jonathan Abarbanel and Kelly Kleiman offer their takes on the work.

Jonathan’s Pick for the Week:
