Join Puck, Shakespeare’s most mischievous fairy, on a magical, comedic, and heartfelt ride through his origin story!
Can he stop the war between his parents? What’s all this about a magic flower? Have you ever wondered what happened before A Midsummer Night’s Dream? Join us and find out!
A show for all ages, inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and The Mad Pranks And Merry Jests Of Robin Goodfellow. The show reimagines the iconic character of Puck as a neurodivergent young person navigating the rift between his parents (Oberon and Titania) and his complex relationship with his new sibling, Titania’s changeling boy.
Caught between two worlds, Puck must, in a journey of magic and mischief, discover who he is on his own terms.
An age-old tale for all ages, exploring timely themes of neurodivergence, mixed heritage, family relationships, identity, and feeling ‘different.’
Look out for the A Midsummer Night’s Dream ‘easter eggs’ sprinkled throughout! But, don’t worry if you are unfamiliar with Shakespeare’s play, this is a stand-alone, magical story for all ages.
A new play, written and performed by Fay Downie (The 39 Steps, The Comedy Of Errors – solo!).
