Cosi

Cosi was first produced in 1992 and has become one of the most successful Australian plays produced in the last decade. A terrific play about madness, illusion, sanity and theatre Cosi is set in a mental institution in 1971. Lewis, a young director takes on the job of directing a production of MozartÂ’s Cosi Fan Tutte in a burnt out theatre while protests of the Vietnam War are waged on the streets.
Written by popular playwright Louis Nowra, Cosi is a poignant look at life through the eyes of patients in an insane asylum in 1971 while on another level itÂ’s a hilarious take on the madness of creative endeavour. The audience learns along with Lewis that when chasing your dreams it helps to be a little crazy as he goes on a personal journey that is at times moving and at times hilarious.
