Cosi by Louis Nowra
Nowra’s vibrant play is set inside a psychiatric institution where Lewis, a university student, has been employed to direct a show. He becomes emotionally involved with his patients-cum-actors as his operatic production lurches forward and anti-Vietnam protests rage outside. Winner of the NSW Premier’s Literary Award for Drama. ‘Nowra has written a terrific play about theatre, madness, illusion, sanity, life: it’s a big, splendidly Australian epic’ - Frank Gauntlett, Telegraph Mirror ‘Nowra’s generous humour offers up a world of the most extraordinary, ordinary people and a hilarious situation-comedy, to boot’ - Angela Bennie, Sydney Morning Herald |
