Synopsis
Dear Brutus - ROYALTY FREE
Published by Oberon
Large Mixed Cast
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves"
Billed as "Peter Pan for Grown-ups", this is a haunting drama of self-revelation
It's 1917
In a remote English village there are rumours of an enchanted wood
One of the inhabitants a mysterious old man invites eight strangers to stay, all of whom have something in common
When one evening the wood miraculously appears, the guests feel compelled to enter this moonstruck terrain where they are given a second chance to negotiate better the twists of fate on which they have blamed the failure of their lives
And what happens there has the power to change their lives forever
Darkly comic with deliberate echoes of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Dear Brutus is Barrie at his most magical
And it can be performed Royalty Free!
