COSI

by Louis Nowra

Nowra’s vibrant play is set inside a psychiatric institution where Lewis, a university student, has been employed to direct a show. He becomes emotionally involved with his patients-cum-actors as his operatic production lurches forward and anti-Vietnam protests rage outside.

Winner of the NSW Premier’s Literary Award for Drama.

‘Nowra has written a terrific play about theatre, madness, illusion, sanity, life: it’s a big, splendidly Australian epic’ Frank Gauntlett, Telegraph Mirror

‘Nowra’s generous humour ... offers up a world of the most extraordinary, ordinary people; and a hilarious situation-comedy, to boot’ Angela Bennie, Sydney Morning Herald

Nowra later adapted his play for the screen, and the screenplay of Cosi is also available.
