Question: Auberon is a character that resembles a chacter from A Midsummer Night's Dream, who is the author? 
Context: A Midsummer Night's Dream is a 1999 romantic comedy fantasy film based on the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare.  It was directed by Michael Hoffman.  The ensemble cast features Kevin Kline as Bottom, Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Everett as Titania and Oberon, Stanley Tucci as Puck, and Calista Flockhart, Anna Friel, Christian Bale, and Dominic West as the four lovers. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a two-act ballet choreographed by George Balanchine to Felix Mendelssohn's music to Shakespeare's play of the same name.  In addition to the incidental music, Balanchine incorporated other Mendelssohn works into the ballet, including the Overtures to "Athalie", "Son and Stranger", and "The Fair Melusine", the "String Symphony No. 9 in C minor" and "The First Walpurgis Night".  "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Balanchine's first completely original full-length ballet, premiered at New York City Ballet on 17 January 1962, with Edward Villella in the role of Oberon, Melissa Hayden in the role of Titania, and Arthur Mitchell in the role of Puck.  The ballet employs a large children's corps de ballet.  Act I tells Shakespeare's familiar story of lovers and fairies while Act II presents a strictly classical dance wedding celebration.  The ballet dispenses with Shakespeare's play-within-a-play finale.  "A Midsummer Night's Dream" opened The New York City Ballet's first season at the New York State Theater in April, 1964. Le songe d'une nuit d'été ("A Midsummer Night's Dream") is an opéra-comique in three acts composed by Ambroise Thomas to a French libretto by Joseph-Bernard Rosier and Adolphe de Leuven.  Although it shares the French title for Shakespeare's play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream", its plot is not based on the play.  Shakespeare himself is a character in the opera as are Elizabeth I and Falstaff. The Donkey Show: A Midsummer Night's Disco is a theatrical adaptation of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream".  The production, created in a disco-era style, was written by Diane Paulus and her husband Randy Weiner and the members of Project 400, Emily Hellstrom, Jordin Ruderman, Rachel Murdy and Anna Wilson.  It first appeared Off-Broadway, opening August 18, 1999.  The show subsequently ran for six years including venues in England, Scotland, France and Spain.  After a successful run at the Edinburgh Festival the Donkey Show show came to London for a 8 month run in Londons West End (Hanover Grand).  The London show was produced by David Babani and Graham Kentsley.  Rob Goodmonson (NYC) played the part of the DJ in the UK production.  In 2009, the show was revived by the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for which Paulus is Artistic Director.  The club/theater space used in Cambridge is called OBERON, after the king of the fairies in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Midsummer Dream (Spanish: El Sueño de una noche de San Juan , meaning "A Dream of a Night of Saint John", the feast of Saint John, celebrated on the night of June 23, being the traditional midsummer feast in Spain and Portugal) is a 2005 computer-animated film from Dygra Films, the creators of "The Living Forest".  Made in Spain and Portugal, the film is loosely based on William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Faerie, The Fair Lands or The Twilight Realm is one of two fictional otherdimensional homelands for the Faerie, as published by DC Comics.  The Vertigo Comics realm of Faerie is an amalgam of the mythological realms of Álfheimr, Otherworld, the Fortunate Isles, Tír na nÓg and Avalon.  This mix is heavily influenced by Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream".  It is home to the faeries and other mythical races, ruled over by the Seelie Court and King Auberon and Queen Titania.  Faerie debuted in "The Books of Magic" #3, and was created by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess. Auberon, is a character who appears primarily in DC Comics' adult-oriented Vertigo line.  He is inspired by (and implied to be the same character as) the faerie king Oberon from William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". A Midsummer Night's Dream is a 2016 British television film based on the William Shakespeare play "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of Theseus, the Duke of Athens, to Hippolyta, the former queen of the Amazons.  These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (the mechanicals) who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set.  The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular works for the stage and is widely performed across the world. The Cinq grimaces pour Le songe d'une nuit d'été ("Five Grimaces for A Midsummer Night's Dream") is a set of incidental music pieces for orchestra by Erik Satie.  Composed in 1915 for a planned circus-style staging of Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream", it marked the composer's first collaboration with author Jean Cocteau.  The production failed to materialize and Satie's music went unperformed in his lifetime.  His score was published posthumously in 1929.
