Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
How do YOU think he should do it!?

Close your eyes and pretend you're Puck!.

Read the play several times and get a "feel" for the character!. (Sir Anthony Hopkins reads a script 120 times before he films!)

What would Puck do!?

Do you know anyone who reminds of you of Puck!? What gestures does he/ she use!?

You'd be a great Puck, Goo!

That is a wonderful idea!. Post your performance on You Tube, please!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's good advice!. The best comes from Shakespeare, himself, "suit the action to the word, the word to the action"!. For the rest of his advice on how to act read Hamlet Act III Sc!. 2!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As long as you're trying to get input from others, why don't you rent the movie (1935, I think) and see how Mickey Rooney did it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
