Cathouse Players are excited to be in rehearsals for their October production of
Louis Nowra’s ‘Cosi’. An iconic Australian piece ‘Cosi’ is set in a Melbourne Mental
Institution in 1971 where we meet Lewis. Fresh out of university Lewis has taken his
first job directing. His brief is to “put on something that will bring the patients out of
their shells”. Lewis encounters manic-depressive Roy who has a life-long dream of
staging Mozart’s Opera ‘Cosi Fan Tutte’. His grand plans include a full production
and sung in Italian, of course. This is met by horror by his fellow patients who have
come along on the invitation ‘To have some fun in the Theatre’. From here the fun
really begins. First staged in Sydney in 1992 starring Ben Mendelson as Lewis; Barry
Otto as Roy and David Wenham as the pyromaniac Doug. All of whom reprised their
roles in the subsequent film.
