by arrangement with HLA Management Pty Ltd

'Cosi' is the story of Lewis - a fresh-out-of uni student who is asked to direct a play at a Melbourne mental institution, to give the patients "something to do" as social worker Justin describes it.
Lewis figures something simple will be all they need to tackle, but lo and
behold, the patients have other ideas!
Or.. more to the point.. one patient in particular - Roy - has a master plan.
Roy's great dream is to stage Mozart's Italian opera... "Cosi Fan Tutte".. and he simply won't take no for an answer.
Never mind that no one can really sing... let alone sing in Italian!!
Before Lewis knows it, he is swept up in Roy's dream and at the same time finds himself becoming attached to a bunch of misfits that society has forgotten about.
Ruth who obsesses about her steps and her script, Dougie the pyromaniac who is keen to burn something, Cherry the crazed nympho who has taken a bit of a liking to Lewis, shy Henry who can barely speak a word, Zac the muso who is so doped up he's virtually comatose and Julie the druggie who is hanging out for another "hit".
There are many poignant and hilarious moments as we learn more about the patients - and also the "other" side of Lewis' life -
girlfriend Lucy and best friend Nick who allows us a "window" into what goes on at the end of each day when Lewis goes home from the asylum.
Set all this in and around the controversial Vietnam conflict of the early 1970's and you have a story that will amuse, delight and sadden you at the same time.
This play is in two acts.. various scenes.
