I'm more interested, Dave, in what led you to THAT news bit.

I know Dave's on the road, so he probably missed the item I sent in about this yesterday, which was much better. See:

New play being staged in toilet
A Brazilian theatre company has opened its new production - in a public toilet.
The Evangelical for the Laymen is being staged at a public toilet under the Cha Bridge in Sao Paulo.
In the play, which mixes biblical and ordinary characters, Jesus is divided into three characters: a social worker, a policeman and an ordinary citizen.
Evil Reboucas, director of the Artehumus Theatre Company, told Folha de Sao Paulo: "We chose the toilet to work as a metaphor for a society that pushes all its renegades to a sewage deposit."
How can you top a guy named Evil Reboucas? You can't.

Must not be a very popular production the venue seems kinda small. The set, however, couldn't have been too difficult to decorate. Wonder where the public is using the toilet now that the toilet is onstage?

It sounds sort of like the production of Godspell I had to do when I was in college. The only difference was that the toilet would have been used in a more metaphorical sense than in this production.

How do you spell poo?
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | September 26, 2004 at 09:42 AM
obviously they have staged this play in the toilet so that the audience will know what to expect. The show will be crap.
Alpha-poo, nice find MKJ. This actually might be a more effective thing to use over trashcans in the park to encourge folks to pick up after their dogs. They could just have POO spelled out with an arrow pointing to the receptacle. It couldn't be any less helpfull then the current dog with baggy signs they-re using now.

Actually, Peri, if you read the seller's feedback, a large number of idio, er, buyers have purchased this, er, stuff.
I must admit to LOL (laughing out loud) when I clicked MKJ's link and saw the product. I have two large dogs. My thought was, wouldn't it be funny if I purchased the letters of one of my dog's name? I would place them on the floor one day. Then, my honey would find them. Can you imagine the high hilarity?
"Damn, Trystan! Call the Herald! Flash just s@#t his name on the floor!"
Also, as I have previously stated, Mahatma my man, you spend WAAAAYYY too much time on eBay. (Yes, I AM a little jealous.)

A play in a toilet? Sounds like a venue for a road company of "Urinetown." (Which was GREAT, by the way.)
Posted by: Pilsenerman | September 26, 2004 at 06:50 PM
Alpha-sh*ts! (as opposed to Alpha-bits cereal)
No word on whether the toilet will be filled prior to the play?
The guy's actual name is "Evil." You just can't beat that.

I think that this production will probably stall pretty soon.
