<P> 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 . </P>
