Eighteen years from now an old curtain will rise to expose a production that will pave the path for African and European unification once again. The deep blue color of the Mediterranean Sea will not lose a twinkle, the Strait of Gibraltar will still separate Spain from Morocco, but the underlying sea bed—and possibly Spanish-Moroccan relations—will never be the same again. No, it isn’t a miscalculation of a Pangea Ultima configuration; the governments of Spain and Morocco just agreed to construct an underwater tunnel to connect their rail systems...

The title, for one thing: it's pronounced rat-a-tooey and refers to a Mediterranean vegetable stew, which not everyone will know or, knowing, will care about. And then ... well ... rats. They are typically figures of fear and loathing, and the Bird team hasn't prettied them up. Though Remy's coat has a lovely bluish sheen, and he often walks on his two hind paws, he is recognizably a rat, much closer to his species than...
