Trivia

Cultural references
- The title is a reference to Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream.
- The concept of saying the name of the play causing a curse is likely a reference to a similar belief surrounding Shakespeare's Macbeth. Whenever the play is performed, it is not uncommon for those involved in its production to refer to it as the Scottish play during production, due to a superstition claiming that saying its true name during production will cause a curse to be placed upon those involved with the play.
