Moonshine is played by R. Starveling.
There is no character by this name in the play. The character Moonshine, in the Rude Mechanicals' Production of Pyramus and Thisbe, carries a bush of thorns as a prop. Apparently, they visualized the man in the moon as carrying a thorn bush.
yes
There are parallels to Romeo and Juliet, but no. William Shakespeare died centuries ago, and Stephanie Meyer wrote New Moon.
usually it means "in"... for example: In A Midsummer Night's Dream, the character named Starveling says "I the Man i' the Moon" meaning "the man in the moon"
Kat Moon is played by Jessie Wallace.
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.

The moon often symbolizes change, mystery, and the passage of time in Shakespeare's works. It is frequently used to create a sense of magic, romance, and the supernatural in his plays and poetry.
Because if they did they wouldn't be Shakespeare's. Many people were writing plays at that time: Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare's plays; Marlowe wrote Marlowe's plays; Jonson wrote Jonson's plays; Middleton wrote Middleton's plays; Webster wrote Webster's plays, and the same for Heywood, and Chettle, and Beaumont and Fletcher.How do we know that Shakespeare wrote the plays? For three very good reasons:Because they are credited to him in published editions.Because a lot of people said he wrote them at the time.Because nobody at the time suggested that he didn't write them.We know now that Shakespeare had help on some of his plays (the published version of one of them officially acknowledges this) just as most other playwrights did. We know also that some poems were credited to Shakespeare which he didn't write, so you can't always go just by the name on the cover. But the name on the cover is corroborated again and again by other references to Shakespeare the playwright and Shakespeare the actor. There is as little reason to believe that someone else wrote everything credited to Shakespeare as there is to believe that the first man on the moon was not really Neil Armstrong but Jerry Garcia.

The moon
Works of Shakespeare.
Not as far as we know.
All but two of the moons of Uranus have names drawn from Shakespeare's plays. Many of them are taken from The Tempest, and most others are names of young female characters from the other plays. The two moon names not in Shakespeare are Umbriel and Belinda from Pope's The Rape of the Lock. The name Ariel is in both this and Shakespeare's Tempest. The two largest moons are named for Titania and Oberon, king and queen of the fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Robert Patenson plays the vampire in new moon.
Steve John Shepherd plays Micheal Moon in eastenders. :)
