Subject: RE: BS: Is it me or is Shakspeare very strange..
One of the most stunning performances in Midsummer Night's Dream I saw was - believe this or not - Jeffery Archer as Puck in an open-air theatre in a park in Dover (Kent, England), where every one of his entrances was made over the high hedge which formed the surround of the stage, impelled from a small trampoline behind. He was wearing little, but much green greasepaint, and his hair pulled in spikes, and he has lied about where this happened, but I know, I was there.

Type casting?
