About the book
"Dear Brutus" by J. M. Barrie is a fantasy play written in 1917. On a magical Midsummer Night, dissatisfied guests gather at the mysterious Lob's house, where an enchanted wood appears. Inside, they experience alternate versions of their lives, exploring what might have been if they had made different choices. When they return to reality, each character must confront the question posed by Shakespeare: whether their faults lie in circumstances or in themselves.
