Day 26

Today, you are in for a real treat. Our very own Christopher shared a monologue from William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy and it is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays.

Christopher shared the last lines of the play, which is called the epilogue. These lines are spoken by a character named Puck. Puck is a fairy or a sprite. Sometimes Puck is called Robin Goodfellow.

During the play, Puck is mischevious and a bit naughty. He likes to play pranks on some of the other people in the play.

His speech at the end of the play is an apology for all that he has done. Puck asks the audience to forgive him, since it was all just a play, with no real harm done.

The picture here is from a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and is just one way Puck might look. When you listen to Christopher read the lines, imagine for yourself what Puck might look like.

I hope you enjoy!
