Dear Brutus

Summary: 1951 BBC production of Dear Brutus by J. M. Barrie.
Theatre play: Dear Brutus by J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) [more information]
Play synopsis: Comedy. ‘The play, set in the manor of a mysterious man called Lob, takes a group of ordinary men and women and asks the question: What might happen to a person given the opportunity to remake their life? The guests are whisked into a dream-like world where they are shown what their lives might have been. Throughout the play, Barrie imparts to his audience deep and intriguing insight into human nature. He makes not only his characters, but his audience, question the role of fate versus the inherent nature of the individual, and the true responsibility we take in the path of our own lives.'
