Next month the Kew Courthouse Arts Association will be presenting a production of Cosi, a play by one of Australia’s leading playwrights Louis Nowra. Cosi is an Australian classic – it is studied in schools across the country, and it has also been made into a successful film. It is refreshing to see a theatre company producing work from our own roots, a notion endorsed by the production’s Director, David Lawson-Smith, who strongly believes in the importance of “performing Australian works for Australian audiences”.
