Today's Globe and Mail has a picture of the Mexican soccer team's mascot, a duck. The duck is named Merlin and has its own custom Mexican national soccer jersey.
The British press covered a story about a ballet performance of Romeo and Juliet where a stray cat walked on stage during Romeo's death scene. The performance was in an open-air theatre. Romeo and Juliet continued their scene while the cat curled up next to Romeo and played with his hair. Tragedy turned to comedy with an "All's Well that Ends Well" air of enjoyment.
There are more stories like this:
In a Belarus performance of Swan Lake, a stray cat wandered onto the set, strolling among the ballerinas.
In a performance of the musical "Cats", an audience member's service dog broke free from its leash and sprinted onto the set to chase the lead actor.
During a performance of Harold Pinter's play The Caretaker, a mouse went downstage, crossed the set, and disappeared under the bed that the lead actor was sitting on.
I wouldn't be surprised if June is the sweetest month, starting with lilacs, then these honeysuckles and bursting forth with roses.
