Welcome to the third episode of the Play On Podcasts Series A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Synopsis:
In the forest, Puck stumbles upon the city workers, who have unwittingly set up their rehearsal right next to the sleeping fairy queen. He uses his magic to transform Bottom’s head into the head of an ass, and the players all run scared out of their wits through the forest, waking Titania, who instantly falls madly in love with Bottom. Puck delivers this news to Oberon, who applauds his work until he discovers that Puck put the love potion in the wrong Athenian’s eyes. Oberon half-corrects the mistake by putting the love juice into Demetrius’s eyes, causing both Demetrius and Lysander to fall madly in love with Helena, who can’t believe it and thinks they’re mocking her.
