A firm has convinced a theatre company to perform an insolvency-themed version of its pantomime for clients.
This Christmas the people of Chester are getting ready to enjoy a production of Cinderella, full of jokes and songs and starring "The Voice star" Joe Woolford as Prince Charming. But a darker fate awaits those who attend a one-off private performance hosted by local firm Aaron & Partners. Because on Monday, Tip Top Productions' cast will suffer for their art like never before and stage 'Cinderalla or Bust!' on behalf of the firm's Insolvency Team.
A promotional email from the firm invited clients to come along for a "spectacular show with fun for all the family", where "we’ve asked the production company to spice up (or bring it down) with some insolvency jokes!" As a recipient told RollOnFriday, "Nothing says Christmas like bankruptcy". In what has to be a typo, the flyer advised, "Please book early to avoid disappointment".
The lawyers may have a wonderfully black sense of humour, but the firm's marketing manager just wants to shift some tickets. However, he was a good sport and divulged some of the gags just in case you can't make it because you're washing your hair or sawing off your own legs.
He also said the solicitors would come in fancy dress, but "I’m not sure which of them are being the ugly sisters!" God help you, Woolford. God help you all.
Tip Off ROF
