Flicka the Dog Transforms Shakespeare Stage
London reports a seven year old wire haired fox terrier named Flicka as Crab the dog in Two Gentlemen of Verona at the Young Vic. Critics hail his virtuoso canine performance and predict a starry future, with Flicka praised for timing, range of barks, growls, yawns, and postures. The terrier’s backstory features a split owner and pub sightings as he searches for his former master. Directors plan to nominate him for actor of the year to honor Britain’s premier canine thespian.
