Synopsis

Set in 1971, Così is Louis Nowra’s second semi-autobiographical play.

Lewis has recently left university and takes up a job in a mental institution directing Mozart’s Così Fan Tutte.

Lewis, the non-participant, becomes emotionally involved with his actors’ lives as his operatic production lurches forward and anti-Vietnam protests take place in the streets outside.
