Context: Puck makes a connection between the human and fairy worlds and can flit between the two. He can stand apart from the action almost as a commentator. In order to play the part, however, the actor needs to find a reality for the character and develop stage relationships. Jonathan Slinger's choices made this a 'cool' Puck. Although able to work magic, his delivery was naturalistic and he seemed worldly-wise. He showed a need for attention from Oberon but was prepared to dismiss the audience with a shrug. |
