DEAR BRUTUS
March 8-23, 2024 at Irving Arts Center
By J.M. Barrie
Directed by Rose Anne Holman
An eclectic group of guests are invited to an enchanting country house for Midsummers Eve. Their mysterious host, Lob, spins a tale of a mystical forest outside the home where they can find dreams and desires answered. Each with their own problems and each curious as to what their “second chance” at life may look like, the guests wander into the woods and seize the opportunity to explore a parallel version of themselves. One part period drama, one part fairy-tale, DEAR BRUTUS is a poignant exploration of choice, consequence, and circumstance. A sentimental fantasy about life, love, and second chances!
