Puck

Puck is a minor character in Upstart Crow.

In A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Puck is a citizen of The Fairy Queen, Titania, in the play. He gives Ned Bottom the potion to make her fall in love with him.

In Upstart Crow
Puck is just like his play counterpart and is thought to have given Will a potion to make Anne fall in love with him. In Lord, What Fools These Mortals Be!, Will and Susanna are visiting Puck again to make Kate fall in love with Lord Egeus. But, Kate is smart enough to realise Puck is a conman and does not take the potion. Puck presumbaly miserably fails in the future due to his evil conman plans be revealed.

Nonetheless, Will uses him in his play. It is possible Puck is somehow related to Apothecary as they both make bargains with Will, sell potions and are strikingly similar. Puck is portrayed by Ken Nwosu.
