Robin Starveling plays the moon for Peter Quince's makeshift group of actors. He tells his audience that the lantern he holds is the moon and he is the man in the moon. Quince's whole play--based on the tale of Pyramus and Thisbe--is slipshod and melodramatic, especially because Nicholas Bottom, who plays Pyramus, drags out his monologues and misspeaks several times. The whole play is comical, a fitting end to "A Midsummer Night's Dream," one of Shakespeare's comedies.

They are not the same, but they are similar. Indeed it is thought that the original Pyramus and Thisbe story is one of the sources of the Romeo and Juliet story. The key part that is similar is that one of a pair of lovers, mistakenly believing his love to be dead, commits suicide, whereupon the other lover, finding that her love is really dead, commits suicide also. In Pyramus and Thisbe, Pyramus believes Thisbe to be dead because he finds her garment stained with blood, whereas Romeo believes Juliet to be dead because he has been told by Balthazar that he saw her buried. Of course if that was all there was to it, Romeo and Juliet would be as short and as silly as Pyramus and Thisbe in Midsummer Night's Dream.

Quince is the Narrator, Bottom is Pyramus, and Flute is Thisbe. Snug plays the Lion ("The know that I, one Snug the joiner am; no lion fell nor else no lion's dam.") and Snout is the Wall ("I, one Snout by name present a wall"). By process of elimination, Starveling must play Moonshine.
