Phil Lowe. Actor and Theatre Writer: Puck's speech from A Midsummer Night's Dream

Puck's speech from A Midsummer Night's Dream

I played nutty Puck back in the 1980s for Derby Shakespeare Company so this rehearsed reading brings back a lot of fond memories. The script was written on the computer screen when I did this recording hence the sideways looks. :0)
