Context paragraphs:
Snug (A Midsummer Night's Dream): Snug is a minor character from William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream".  He is a joiner who comes from Athens who is hired by Peter Quince to play the part of the lion in Pyramus and Thisbe.  When he is first assigned the part, he is afraid it may take him a while to finally remember his lines (even though the lion's role was nothing but roaring originally).  Bottom offers to play the part of the lion (as he offers to play all other parts), but he is rejected by Quince, who worries (as do the other characters) that his loud and ferocious roar in the play will frighten the ladies of power in the audience and get Quince and all his actors hanged.  In the end, the lion's part is revised to explain that he is in fact not a lion and means the audience no harm.  This is a subtle reminder by Shakespeare that the mechanicals are not learned men.

Robin Starveling: Robin Starveling is a character in William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (1596), one of the Rude Mechanicals of Athens who plays the part of Moonshine in their performance of "Pyramus and Thisbe".  His part is often considered one of the more humorous in the play, as he uses a lantern in a failed attempt to portray Moonshine and is wittily derided by his audience.  Scholars have argued that his amateur performance communicates many of the problems Shakespeare would have been familiar with in the theatre: heckling, lack of adequate props, and amateur acting abilities.

A Midsummer Night's Dream: A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy written by William Shakespeare in 1595/96.  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.

A Midsummer Night's Dream (ballet): 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.

Metamorpheus: Metamorpheus is Steve Hackett's 17th studio album.  This classical album is the successor to "A Midsummer Nights Dream".  "Metamorpheus" is an expression on Orpheus and his passage through the Underworld.  The use of the nylon guitar and the "Underground Orchestra" naturally gives a link between the small and big moments of this album.

Mechanical (character): A mechanical is any of six characters in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" who perform the play-within-a-play "Pyramus and Thisbe".  Named for their occupations as skilled manual laborers, they are a group of amateur (mostly incompetent) actors from around Athens, looking to make names for themselves by having their production chosen among several acts as the courtly entertainment for the royal wedding party of Theseus and Hippolyta.  The biggest ham among them, Bottom, becomes the unlikely object of interest for love-potion-charmed fairy queen Titania after he is turned into a monster with the head, eyes and ears of an ass by the servant-spirit Puck.

Peter Quince: Peter Quince is a character immortalized in William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream".  He is one of the six mechanicals of Athens who perform the play which Quince himself authored, "The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisbe" for the Duke Theseus and his wife Hippolyta at their wedding.

Tom Snout: Tom Snout is a fictional character in William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream".  He is a tinker, and one of the "mechanicals" of Athens, amateur players in "Pyramus and Thisbe", a play within the play.

Le songe d'une nuit d'été: 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.

Midsummer 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".
