Gammerstang commented on the word cue-fellows
(pl. noun) - From cue, the final or catch-word of a speech; a technical term among players, whence cue-fellows means players who act together. The cue among players was derived, doubtless, from the French queue, being literally the tail of a speech. It occurs several times in A Midsummer Night's Dream among rustic actors.
