Thisbe is the lovely heroine of the play Pyramus and Thisbe, performed by the rude mechanicals under the direction of Peter Quince in Act V of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The lovely Thisbe (whom Bottom cannot help calling Thisne for some reason) is played by the only very slightly bearded bellows-mender Flute. At the casting session Flute is told he "may play it in a mask", but this (like just about everything else in the play) may well change before the performances.
For a hilarious and broad (in more than one sense) Thisbe, see Joe E Brown in the 1935 movie. For a touching and seriously amazing Thisbe, see Sam Rockwell in the 1999 movie.
