About

Step past the bank where the wild thyme blows and get lost in the woods for an immersive, shortened version of Shakespeare’s classic tale.

Encounter a world where fairies don’t exist and the trees have eyes, but don’t…eat…the flowers… Puck’s Possession helps to connect Shakespeare to the new generation. Watch foul mouthed teenagers play a game of imposter and a blissfully unaware young woman fall into the inevitable trap of manipulative men. This May, Newton Park’s own woodlands serves as the perfect playground. But take heed, make haste, when puck is near, beware, he is something to fear.
