No Fear Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream - Puck, Oberon, Lysander and More
AFalzon02 for Puck (Robin Goodfellow)
Robin Goodfellow, or Puck, as he is more commonly known, is a mischevious fairy who is the main cause of all the problem in the play. He is extremely playful and mostly well-meaning, however he can be extremely mean at other moments as well. He is the jester of Oberon, and almost always does his bidding.
Puck should have a mid to high range voice, and should be very over the top. Even though he is basically the main character, he is very flamboyant and over the top, but don't try to be too over the top. Just have fun, don't go too too crazy, and it should be fine.
Should we watch this ridiculous scene? Lord, what fools these mortals are!
So far I’ve done exactly what I was supposed to do—I put the love potion on an Athenian’s eyes. And so far I’m pleased with the way things have turned out, since I find all of this commotion very entertaining.
Don’t worry, sir. I’m at your service.
