Stage fright chicken collapses during rehearsal
A chicken collapsed from stage fright during a rehearsal for a play in northern Queensland.
Ron Hamilton of the St. James Players said the hen fainted during a dress rehearsal of Johnny Belinda.
He said the chicken had a piece of string tied to its leg to stop it from straying. The fowl passed out just inside the set, which meant every actor had to step over it to get on stage.
Rather than walking on stage to collect the traumatised animal, the crew removed it by dragging it slowly off-stage by the string.
Mr Hamilton said the dress rehearsal was well attended by pensioners who had the chance to see the show for free.
The ill-fated chicken was an attempt at obtaining the authentic sound of hens for the opening scene of the play, which is set in a poor Canadian farming community, reports the news.com website.
