In 2011, Banksy sprayed "THIS LOOKS A BIT LIKE AN ELEPHANT" on a disused water tank in LA. The tank was residence for a local legend, Tachowa Covington, who over seven years had furnished it with carpets, a stove – even CCTV.
The tank instantly became a work of art and was taken away to be sold. Suddenly, Tachowa was homeless again.
Starring Gary Beadle (EastEnders' Paul Trueman) - this is a story about creating something from nothing and then having it taken away, in the name of art.
The play will be followed by a screening of Something from Nothing, documentary maker Hal Samples' short film about Tachowa and the tank, edited from material gathered over 7 years.
