Who is Peter Quince?

Peter Quince is a character in "A mid summer's dream" , a romantic and at the same time funny play written by William Shakespeare. He is a carpenter and he works in Athens. He is the “ boss ” and playwright of a group of workmen (Nick Bottom the weaver, Francis Flute the bellows-mender, Tom Snout the tinker, Starveling the tailor and Snug the joiner) that want to perform the play “ Pyramus and Thisby” for Theseus and Hippolyta at their wedding. Although Peter is the official boss, Bottom often takes his place and this irritates him a lot.
In the play "Pyramus and Thisby" he recites the prologue, but because he is very nervous he does a mess and recites in an awful way!!!
This is very funny because he always corrects the other actors as if he were the best actor in the world and then he acts just as bad as they do!
