Tuesday June 12 7:48 AM ET All the World's a Toilet in This Play dailynews.yahoo.com SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Here's a play that probably really stinks, no matter how good the reviews are. A San Francisco man is taking modern theater into the toilet with his one-act play ``The John,'' which will be staged in a men's room at the city's Maritime Hall later this month. ``It's the ultimate, everyday place,'' local actor and playwright Bob Ernst told the San Francisco Chronicle on Monday. Ernst takes on the role of a middle-aged theatergoer named ''Alvin'' who encounters Death during an intermission of Shakespeare's tragedy ``King Lear.'' The two characters sing and swear at each other during the hour-long performance before Death decides Alvin is not quite ready to die. The transformed bathroom will seat 20 spectators wedged in between the first and fourth stalls. Ernst, who rented the facilities for $100 a day, added there are plenty of tickets still available and shrugged off suggestions his choice of venue was a mere gimmick. ``Death can happen anywhere, any time,'' he told the Chronicle. ``Elvis died in a john, you know.''
