Strange Tales From The Employment World (part 1)


The dream of a career as a professional actor dies hard (and sometimes not at all).  Andre Tchaikowsky finally achieved his life-long dream, but only after his death.

How can this be?  Simple, if you donate your skull to London’s Royal Shakespeare Company and they agree to use it in the gravedigger scene of the play, “Hamlet”. 

Each night, Hamlet now holds up Tchaikowsky’s skull (which had to be left outdoors for several months in the sunlight to dry out) and proclaims, “Alas, poor Yorick”.  Now that’s immortality. 

We employment lawyers wonder if Andre’s survivors are being paid anything for his nightly performance.
