The Dream with Christopher Schram
Day 30

One of my favorite Shakespeare plays is A Midsummer Night's Dream. In this magical comedy, a mischievous sprite named Puck (sometimes called Robin Goodfellow) plays tricks on the characters in the play. Like most of Shakespeare's comedies, by the end of the play the characters fall in love, this time with Puck's help. I like to think of Puck being like Peter Pan or Tinker Bell, only more of a troublemaker. Most of the play takes place in an enchanted forest.

The play is filled with fun language, so I found a speech to share with you. I am speaking the last lines of the play called the epilogue. In these lines, Puck apologies to anyone in the audience who may have been offended by the play. We filmed this in an empty room so that you can imagine the magical world of the play as I recite the lines. The picture here is just one way it could look; you can imagine your own sets, costumes, and designs.

I love this character because he is just a little naughty - which is fun to play.

Enjoy!
