Mozart and madness combine in Louis Nowra’s heart-warming Australian classic, COSI, coming to Ipswich for a limited season.
It’s 1971 and Lewis has taken a job in a mental institution, filled with people ostracised from society. As anti-Vietnam protests march on the streets outside, inside Lewis navigates romance, friendship, and art, with his new motley-crew community.
COSI holds a beloved place in the hearts of Australian culture – from its debut in the 70s, an Aussie cultural calling card on the international stage in the 80s, the cult film starring Toni Collette and Barry Otto in the 90s, to its Queensland revival in the 2010s, the memorable ensemble, political backdrop, and optimistic heart continues to resonate with audiences.
Whether it’s your first, fifth, or fortieth time re-meeting Roy, Julie, Ruth, Doug, Cherry, Henry, and Zac – COSI is the reminder we need of our humanity and the power of art.
Presented by THAT Production Company and Mira Ball Productions.
