Set in the early 70's, Così is the touching and funny 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.
