Tom Wainwright's new play tells the tale of Titus Coventry, a native LA-er and failed actor, who lived in a water tanker until last spring. When graffiti artist Banksy wrote on the outside, "THIS LOOKS A BIT LIKE AN ELEPHANT" (the unmentionable elephant being homelessness and poverty amidst such wealth), the tanker becomes bankable Art.
