Cosi: A symphony of operatic madness l Classic Australian theatre
Lewis is a bit of a non-participant in life, but when he takes up an opportunity to direct a play at a mental institution - for a bit of extra cash - he gets much more than he bargained for. He becomes emotionally involved with his actors\u2019 lives as his production lurches forward, and the anti-Vietnam war protests take place in the streets outside.--Louis Nowra is one of Australia\u2019s most successful writers. He has penned novels, crafted film scripts, authored two memoirs and worked as a librettist, but he is perhaps best known for his plays. Since the early 1970s he has created over 30 stories for the stage; several of them have earned a rightful place in the Australian dramatic canon, and our hearts.\xa0They include\xa0Summer of the Aliens,\xa0Radiance,\xa0The Golden Age,\xa0The Temple and\xa0Albert Names Edward.
