COSI
Written by Louis Nowra
Directed by Steven Pearson
Longstreet Theatre

In the shadow of the Vietnam War, a young Australian director lands a job handling a group of inexperienced but colorful performers… in a mental institution.  Against surprising and touching odds, a motley band of players emerges ready to perform Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte. But can they sing? And who speaks Italian? A madcap look at theatre behind the scenes, Così is ultimately a fresh, startling play about personal dreams, madness, ambition, disappointment, creativity and transformation.  

“…a hoot from start to finish.”  — The Daily Express
