Being Puck
Is there not a bit
of an imp in every boy,
a puck, a pixie, rascal or sprite
that beguiles more than pesters,
teases not torments -
molds a mother's heart
and when it reappears
upon becoming a man - does it not
bring back her youthful smile?

My son, William Bednar, will be performing (as Puck) with Barefoot Shakespeare Company productions of Macbeth and Midsummer Night's Dream - set in the summer of 1967. It will be in rotating repertory, June 8-18 at Summit Rock in Central Park. William appears in the video at .21
He was both Peter Pan & Robin Hood (both have elements of Puck) several times as a youth and adores Shakespeare - and will always be a bit of a Puck :)
