Puck's beautiful speech at the end of the play, beginning "If we shadows have offended", comes as something of a surprise. Not because it is delivered by a burly techy - we've become used to Ferdy Roberts's unusual Robin Goodfellow - but, following the mayhem, the food fights, rock choruses, paint squirting and guffaws, it could be inviting agreement. Perhaps a few joyless purists will take exception to Filter's latest, but they will be missing the point...
