About this listen

Happy Solar Eclipse! The moon is a real c-blocker, and it's also a fairly consistent topic in Midsummer Act II, in which we enter the fairy world of Oberon and his wife Titania. They're fighting over an Indian boy (best not to think too much about it) and Oberon gets pissed when Titania refuses to give the boy up. Oberon decides he's going to get revenge on his wife by dosing her with a love potion. However, our young Athenian lovers are in the woods too, and Puck, Oberon's attendant, doses Lysander by mistake. He wakes to see Helena, who is decidedly not Hermia, and hilarity ensues. Chuck and Gabe give you the hot takes.
