wasn`t this a case of a breach of the trade descriptions act? A breach

hauled up into the county court for this?

"Art and entertainment are simply too nebulous and to difficult to
define".

I`m not an expert in the legal administration of 'entertainment' law, but I
would say that in Britain today if a complaint is made towards the company
or the performance, ticket money would be re-embursed, as long as it is not
asked for immediately upon the final curtain descending. One would have to
'walk out' within 20 minutes of the performance starting to have any chance
of a refund. A claim for damages would have to be applied for through the
local courts.
