About this ebook
If you were given a second chance at life, would you make the same mistakes? On a magical Midsummer Eve, a group of guests filled with deep regrets enter an enchanted forest that offers them an alternative reality. They get exactly what they wished for, but soon face a chilling truth about human nature. This is the fascinating setup of Dear Brutus, a three-act play that explores profound themes of fate, free will, and the bittersweet nature of human regret. It takes its title directly from a famous line in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: 'The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.'

While he is famous for creating Peter Pan, Dear Brutus represents the peak of his commercial success as a writer for general audiences. First performed in London in 1917 during the First World War, the play reflected Barrie’s reflective mood during a time of national grief and personal loss.
