Così
An outrageously funny Australian play by Louis Nowra starring Mark Little.
Set in the early 1970's, Così is the touching story of Lewis, a fresh-faced theatre director, in his first job directing patients in a Melbourne mental asylum in Mozart's Così fan Tutte. But no one, including ringleader Roy (Mark Little), can sing or speak Italian. Meanwhile, the pressure on Lewis from his university friends to organise Australia's largest Vietnam War protest makes him question where true madness lies: inside or outside the asylum.
Date/times: 29 July - 24 August. Tuesday-Saturday 7.30pm; Sunday 5.00pm.
Tickets: £12 or £10 available at White Bear Theatre website.
Or telephone: 020 7793 9193.
Address: White Bear Theatre, 138 Kennington Park Road, London, SE11 4DJ.
