A Sydney Theatre Company and Melbourne Theatre Company production
COSÌ
By Louis Nowra

A joyous love-letter to the stage

This heart-warming and hilarious Australian comedy comes to STC for the first time.

Set in a psychiatric facility, Così is a play about friendship, romance, infidelity and difference. It’s 1971 and Australia is protesting the war in Vietnam. But inside the asylum, the inmates are listening to Mozart, learning their lines and occasionally skipping their medication. It’s art, it’s mayhem, it’s a wonderful roller coaster all the way to opening night.

The icing on the cake is that it’s all based on playwright Louis Nowra’s own life. In the 1970s, he himself directed a musical with inmates from Melbourne’s Mont Park Asylum. The one-off performance brought joy to everyone involved.

Now, former STC Resident Director Sarah Goodes (fresh from winning a Helpmann Award for The Children) brings this joy to our stage. With its cast of loveable characters, Così offers a touching reminder of how art can make our spirits soar.
