Summary

In the play "Dear Brutus" by James Matthew Barrie, a mysterious story unfolds before the audience, where a group of people gathered at the house of an eccentric host is given a chance to glimpse alternative versions of their lives. In an enigmatic forest that appears only during a full moon, the characters are faced with the opportunity to change their fate. Each of them, burdened with regrets and unfulfilled dreams, gains the chance to see how their life might have turned out if they had made different choices. Barrie masterfully explores the theme of human nature and the immutability of fate, posing the question: are we truly capable of changing our lives, or does our essence remain unchanged, no matter how circumstances shift? The play, full of magic and philosophical reflections, prompts contemplation on what is truly important in life.
