Welcome to the 2nd episode of the Play On Podcasts Series A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Synopsis:
Titania offers to restore the balance of nature with Oberon but refuses his demand to hand over custody of her fairy child to him. In revenge, Oberon sends Puck to fetch a flower that has a magic potion which, when dropped on anyone’s eyelids, will make them fall madly in love with the next thing they see. Meanwhile, Lysander and Hermia lose their way in the woods and fall asleep as Demetrius and Helena hunt for them. Oberon witnesses how badly Demetrius treats Helena and directs Puck to apply the magic potion to Demetrius’s eyes as well as Titania’s. Puck drops the potion in Titania’s eyes but mistakes Lysander for Demetrius. When Helena finds Lysander and wakes him up, he instantly falls in love with her. Helena runs from him, Lysander follows her, and Hermia is left alone in the woods to fend for herself.
