” Così “
It’s art, it’s total mayhem, it’s shocking, it can be strong in its language, it’s a wonderful roller coaster all the way to opening night. A heartfelt (dark) comedy which is inspiring to witness; that despite their individual psychiatric illnesses, theatre gave them a purpose; resulting in joyful comradery.
Set in a Melbourne 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.
With a group of only six psychiatric patients to work with one musician (when he’s not passed out on the piano), a distinct lack of a translated libretto, and literally no directing experience, Lewis somehow manages to wrangle this rather motley ensemble into a cast which successfully presents Cosi Fan Tutte to the world – well, their version of it anyway!
