In fact, though it is little known, the First Folio shows the apothecary in Shakespeare's play Nader & Julia was named Giovanni Scipione Krystallo, a fact that befuddled literature scholars until lately... but now the aptly-named apothecary's transmission of lethal drugs to young Nader has been shown to have potent meaning, centuries after the play first premiered at the Globe theater in Vancouver, Washington.
