Jacques returns to Duke Senior’s camp to discover that someone killed a deer. He suggests they present it to Duke Senior as an offering and asks Amiens to sing a song to mark the occasion. Back at the farm, Silivius delivers Phebe’s letter to “Johnnyseed”. Seeing it’s full of praise for Johnnyseed, Rosalind scolds Silvius for loving a woman who treats him so badly. S/he sends him back to Phebe with the message that Phebe should love Silvius. As Silvius is leaving, Orlando’s brother Oliver enters, transformed. He tells Rosalind and Celia that Orlando defended him from an attack by a lioness and presents a bloody handkerchief that had bandaged Orlando’s wounded arm. Rosalind faints at the sight of the blood and scrambles to resume her disguise when Oliver questions her manliness,. Back at Filippini Pond, Touchstone and Audrey are skinny dipping with throngs of other concertgoers when Audrey’s suitor, a local farmhand  named William, shows up. Touchstone chases him out of the water with a barrage of questions to challenge his wit before Corin arrives to tell Touchstone that Johnnyseed and Anne Emma Grant would like to see him. Later, Oliver confesses to his brother that he’s fallen in love with Anne Emma Grant. He gives Orlando his inheritance and vows to live and die in the country as a shepherd. When Rosalind (“Johnnyseed”) enters, Oliver leaves. Orlando spills his heart out to Johnnyseed, saying that Oliver and Anne’s love has made him yearn even more for Rosalind and he can no longer keep on pretending. Johnnyseed comforts Orlando by saying that he has magical powers and that Orlando will marry Rosalind when Oliver marries Anne.

Celia tries to comfort Rosalind when Orlando doesn’t show up at the cottage for his first coaching. Corin arrives to invite them to spy on Silvius courting the reluctant Phebe. Rosalind, still dressed as Johnnyseed, follows and confronts Phebe when she sees how poorly she treats Silvius, but it backfires when Phebe falls for her instead. Rosalind beats a hasty retreat with Celia. Phebe tells Silvius she’s going to write “Johnnyseed” a love letter for him to deliver. Back in the forest, Rosalind teases Jacques about his melancholy until Orlando finally arrives. Jacques leaves and Rosalind (Johnnyseed) berates Orlando for being late to his tutoring session. Johnnyseed (Rosalind) convinces Celia to stage a fake wedding between Johnnyseed and Orlando in order to make Rosalind jealous. Orlando isn’t sure about this and leaves to have dinner with Duke Senior. Celia scolds Rosalind for misrepresenting women, but Rosalind can only respond that she’s fallen deeply in love.

Celia tells Rosalind that Orlando is the poet whose writing has so delighted them. When they hear Orlando approaching in argument with Jacques about love, they hide to eavesdrop. Once Jacques leaves, Rosalind steps out and introduces herself as “Johnnyseed”. She promises to cure Orlando of his lovesickness provided he agrees to pretend that she’s Rosalind and comes every day to practice wooing him. Orlando happily agrees. Back at the concert, Touchstone and Audrey make their way through the crowd with her goats, trailed by Jacques. Audrey tries to keep up with Touchstone’s wit until they come across Sir Oliver Martext, who Touchstone asks to marry them. Sir Oliver says he can’t marry Audrey to Touchstone until she’s “given away”. Jacques emerges and offers to give Audrey away, but not until he has a word in private with Touchstone.

Jacques is enraptured by Amiens’ music and begs for more. Meanwhile, Orlando leaves the elderly and exhausted Adam to find food for them to eat. Later in the day, Duke Senior comes upon Jacques, who is elated by his conversation with a fool he met in the forest (Touchstone). As they sit down to eat with their entourage, Orlando enters, sword drawn, and orders them to give him food. Duke Senior soothes him and welcomes him to their feast. Orlando apologizes for his rude behavior and goes to get Adam. Jacques describes how all the world's a stage. Orlando re-enters with Adam and they all dine together. As Amiens sings another song, Orlando describes his saga to Duke Senior, who replies that she knew and loved Orlando’s father, and wants to hear more. Back at the Court, Duke Frederick berates Oliver for failing to kill Orlando. He seizes Oliver's land and property, ordering him to find his brother and bring him back within a week or be banished from the realm forever. Back in the forest of Arden (or Woodstock), Orlando hangs poems to Rosalind on the trees and gives them to everyone he sees. Meanwhile, Corin and Touchstone debate the attributes of courtly and country life. They hear Rosalind (or “Johnnyseed”) reading Orlando’s bad poetry. Touchstone steps forward to mock the poetry and is joined by Celia. They all laugh together.

At dinner after the wrestling match, Celia marvels at how quickly Rosalind has fallen in love. They’re interrupted by the angry Duke Frederick, who threatens his niece Rosalind with death for treason if she doesn’t leave his court immediately. Celia defends Rosalind and vows to stay with her wherever she goes. Together, they plan to leave the city disguised as men. Rosalind will be known as “Johnnyseed" and Celia as “Anne Emma Grant”.  They decide to bring the court jester, Touchstone, with them. Meanwhile, Duke Senior holds court in the forest with Woodstock concertgoers, philosophizing on the virtues of living in nature. When she hears that Jacques, another courtier-turned-philosopher, is in the forest mourning the killing of deer, she asks to be taken to him. Back at his Court, Duke Frederick berates his assistants for losing track of Celia and Rosallind and letting them escape. He demands that they bring Oliver and Charles the Wrestler to him. Back at Orlando’s quarters, Adam tells him he must flee or die. He offers him all his savings and urges him to leave immediately. Orlando convinces Adam to accompany him in flight. Elsewhere, Rosalind, Celia and Touchstone trudge through the rain into the forest of Arden. There, they come upon two farmhands, Silvius and Corin, and overhear Silvius asking for advice as he pines away for a young shepherdess named Phebe. Rosalind sympathizes with his plight as she pines for Orlando. Touchstone gets their attention to find out where they might be able to get food and lodging. When Corin tells them he can’t help because his boss is selling his farm, Rosalind offers to buy the farm and all its property in exchange for his services.

Orlando tells his trusted old servant, Adam, how much it grieves him that his brother Oliver keeps him from their father’s inheritance. Oliver enters and provokes Orlando into attacking him, then relents and agrees to give Orlando part of what’s due to him. After Orlando and Adam depart, Oliver meets privately with the champion wrestler, Charles, and encourages him to break his brother’s neck at their upcoming match. On the day of the match, Duke Frederick’s daughter, Celia, arrives at Madison Square Garden with her cousin, the banished Duke Senior’s daughter, Rosalind. They’re joined by Touchstone, the jester. Once inside, the cousins are taken by the sight of Orlando, who they try to dissuade from wrestling with Charles. Orlando persists on his mission and beats all odds by defeating Charles. Duke Frederick is enraged and leaves the arena when he finds out the victor is the son of Sir Roland du Bois. Rosalind approaches Orlando and gives him a necklace. Orlando is smitten but can’t bring himself to speak. When Duke Frederick’s servant, Le Beau, tells him that Rosalind is the daughter of the banished Duke Senior, he vows to find her again.

Biondello tells Bianca and Lucentio that he’s arranged for a priest to perform their marriage and sends them on their way as Gremio approaches. Petruchio, Kate and Vincentio arrive at Baptista’s house and are greeted by the Pedant who (much to the real Vincentio’s consternation) claims to be Lucentio’s father. Biondello returns from the hasty marriage to find both the real and fake Vincentio with Baptista and is forced to pretend the Pedant is his master. As Vincentio berates Biondello for pretending not to know him, Tranio returns and tries to continue the ruse, claiming the Pedant is his father. Chaos ensues until Lucentio returns with Bianca. With no way out, Lucentio confesses all to his father. Vincentio, overjoyed to see his son alive, forgives him. Baptista accepts the marriage. Gremio accepts he’s been beaten and joins the group for a free meal at Baptista’s. Kate and Petruchio revel in their newfound love. After dinner, Petruchio challenges all the newly married men to see whose wife respects her husband the most. In the end, it’s Kate who helps her husband win, ending the series with a speech about a woman’s responsibility to her husband.

Grumio taunts Katherine (as instructed by his master) until Petruchio and Hortensio arrive for dinner. Petruchio rushes Kate through her meal before welcoming a tailor and haberdasher who have made exquisite clothing for Katherine. Petruchio rejects all their offerings over Katherine’s objections, but she begins to catch on to his strategy, realizing that she must play along with everything Petruchio does and be “agreeable” in order to get what she wants. Meanwhile, Biondello has primed Baptista for a visit from Tranio (disguised as Lucentio) and the Pedant (disguised as Lucentio’s father, Vincentio). Baptista welcomes them and seals the deal for Lucentio to marry his daughter. On the road back to Baptista’s home, Kate and Petruchio keep up their game of opposites until they are met by an old man who is making his way to Padua. He introduces himself as Lucentio’s father (the real Vincentio). Petruchio embraces him as family, telling him that his son has just married the sister of his wife.

Grumio reaches Petruchio’s house ahead of the newlyweds and prepares the servants for their arrival. But nothing could brace them against Petruchio’s abuse. He rejects the meals they’ve made and treats them so poorly that Kate implores him to be more patient. Petruchio insists they go straight to bed, where he lectures her on the virtues of abstinence. Meanwhile, as Tranio keeps up his Lucentio impersonation, Hortensio drops his “Litio '' persona and laments Bianca’s affection for Cambio (the real Lucentio). Together, they renounce Bianca and Hortensio declares that he’ll seek the affections of a wealthy widow. Free of Hortensio, Tranio celebrates with Bianca and Lucentio until Biondello arrives with the news that he’s found a drunk Pedant who will be the perfect person to impersonate Luentio’s father, Vincenzio. Tranio and Lucentio work up a plan to fool the Pedant into believing he’s in danger in Padua because he’s from Mantua but that he’ll be safe if he pretends to be Lucentio’s father.

The guests assemble for the wedding but the groom is nowhere to be found. Katherina frets with her father until Biondello arrives with word that Petruchio is on his way. The groom arrives, disheveled and drunk, on a shabby horse, with his servant by his side. As the wedding finally gets underway, Tranio tells Lucentio they have to find someone to play the part of his father (Vincentio) in order to convince Baptista that Lucentio is as rich as Tranio promised in Episode Three. Gremio emerges from the church and describes Petruchio’s lewd behavior at the altar. Petruchio steps out with his bride and announces that they have to be on their way. Katherina pleads with her husband to stay for the celebration but Petruchio refuses. Incensed, she rails at him, at her father and at all the guests, to no avail. The crowd gets rowdy and clamors for the feast. Petruchio puts Kate on his horse and rides off. Tranio (disguised as Lucentio) steals a moment to woo Bianca and Baptista invites everyone to eat cake.

Kate and Petruchio meet at last! The fireworks are lit and the couple goes head to head until Baptista arrives to check on their progress. Petruchio announces (over Kate’s objections) that the two have agreed to marry that Sunday. Baptista celebrates the news and turns his attention to the marriage of his second daughter, Bianca. Gremio and Tranio (disguised as Lucentio) compete to prove who has the most to offer in the way of riches. Tranio outbids Gremio and Baptista promises him his youngest daughter provided Tranio can prove his father has the resources he claims. Once alone, Tranio conspires to find someone who can pretend to be Lucentio’s wealthy father. Back in Baptista’s house, the real Lucentio “tutors” Bianca in Latin and secretly reveals his true identity. Bianca is receptive to Lucentio’s overtures but warns she needs to get to know him before she agrees to marry. Hortensio finishes tuning his lute and takes over from Lucentio to teach Bianca how to read music, whereupon he confesses his love to her. She is not nearly as receptive to this fop, who stews in anger and vows to defeat Lucentio.

A student (and eligible bachelor) named Lucentio arrives in Padua with his servant, Tranio, to study philosophy. As they take in the sights they come across the wealthy Baptista and his two daughters, Bianca and Katherina. Bianca is trailed by two suitors, Hortensio and Gremio, who are vying for her affection. Baptista tells them that neither of them will win Bianca’s hand until he marries off his older daughter, Katherina. Meantime, Baptista will keep Bianca at home, seen only by the tutors who he employs to advance her education. Hortensio and Gremio scheme to find a husband for the contrary Katherina. Lucentio, smitten by the beautiful Bianca, hatches a plan with Tranio to gain access to Bianca’s house by changing clothes with his servant and posing as a tutor while Tranio pretends to be Lucentio in order to build Lucentio’s social profile and entertain his father’s guests. When Lucentio’s other servant, Biondello, arrives, Lucentio tells him that he and Tranio switched clothes because he killed a man and has to escape the city. He tasks Biondello with waiting on Tranio and instructs him to refer to Tranio as Lucentio. Elsewhere, the self-assured Petruchio, along with his servant, Grumio, arrives from Verona at his friend Hortensio’s house. Hortensio greets him warmly and learns from Petruchio that he’s come to Padua to find a wife from a wealthy family. Hortensio tells him about Baptista’s daughter, Katherina, but warns him about her ferocious temper. Petruchio is intrigued and vows to make Katherina his wife. Hortensio offers to facilitate the introduction provided Petruchio helps him pass for a music teacher so he can get access to Bianca.

HEXADEC is an anthology podcast featuring standalone episodes of a variety of themes and styles. It's not just limited to fiction — we'll have nonfiction, too! But what makes them a part of the anthology? Every episode is inspired by a hexadecimal color code! For Podcast Movement 2020, Wil wanted to try something different: have four different sound designers work on the same scene. Here's four dramatically different takes on Act II, Scene II of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
