rikita informs me reliably that in susan cooper's new book, victory, this paragraph appears:

"They go one afternoon to the Globe Theatre, built as a replica of Shakespeare's own Globe, and see a wonderful production of The Tempest. Molly is very impressed by the acrobatic young actor playing Ariel, even though the program tells her he comes from North Carolina."

i can think of at least three people who would know what this is in reference to, or who the young actor is. *beam*
