Apothecary

The Apothecary is a minor character in Upstart Crow.

In Romeo and Juliet
The Apotheracy is replaced by Friar Lawrence, an antanognist of the play who gives Juliet a potion to play dead but it only ends up with Romeo and Juliet committing suicide.

In Upstart Crow
He only appears in Star-Crossed Lovers where Will visits a voodoo shop run by a witch doctor, The Apothecary. Will makes a bargain with him to buy a play-dead potion in which whoever drinks it, will wake up at the right moment. The Apothecary offers Will to buy a half-price but he rejects the offer and instead buys the normal potion.

Strangely, Will and his friends never visit him again. In Lord, What Fools These Mortals Be, The Apotheracy is replaced by Puck. It is possible they are family.
