Today’s #WeeklyWednesday is from the Coronado Playhouse’s 15th annual free Shakespeare production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” I had an absolute blast playing Puck (for which I won an Aubrey Award for Best Leading Actress in a Comedy, plus a couple of CPH Blue Ribbon Awards) - and I thought I’d share some of Puck’s major scenes/monologues, plus a few other bits to tie the story together. I was credited as Ashley Foughty for this show.
Puck's best-known monologues begin around 4:00 (“My mistress with a monster is in love…”) and 8:40 (“If we shadows have offended…”). Shakespeare aficionados will notice that some of the language/pronunciation was modified for our production. I love that CPH makes classic works accessible to all, and have very much enjoyed the shows I’ve worked on or attended there!
I also composed original music (and did sound design/effects) for the show; I’ll link those videos as well :)

Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy it!

I got cast as puck for my school production and I was kind of worried because I didn’t understand what I was saying but the way you played puck helped me to understand.

You did absolutely beautifully. Do you have any advice for findings Pucks physical character?

I'm so sorry I missed your comment before - thank you so much!! I don't know if this is still helpful, but I tried to think kind of like a dancer (I naturally tend to hunch my shoulders a little, so I tried to think tall and up and open in my chest) - and also a little proud/swaggery 😉[sounds kind of funny, but it helped me!]

Thank you so much! And congratulations!! This sounds obvious, but I think the main trick to Shakespeare (in general) is just understanding everything you're saying, especially since some of the references have changed meaning. For Puck - I'd say trust your instincts and have fun! He can get away with just about anything, so if a "crazy" idea feels natural to you, give it a try. I also like to make a music playlist to listen to while getting ready - you could try songs that make you think of Puck, stuff you think he'd listen to, maybe something energetic that you could dance around to... I hope some of that helps! And if you upload video of your performance, please let me know! Break a leg :)
