Review: Cosi at Riverlea TheatreMARK TAYLOR FAIRFAX NZ Freya Gardener as Lucy , Conor Maxwell as Lewis , and Pauline Gardener Ward as Cherry, in a scene from Cosi, which is being staged at Riverlea Theatre in Hamilton. Where: Riverlea TheatrePlaywright: Louis NowraDirector: Lee Owens assisted by Jason WingReviewer: Sam EdwardsThe last couple of decades have almost deprived us of laughter. And now, from the highly respected dramatic centre of Riverlea Theatre, Hamilton Playbox, comes an "hilarious" play about "patients at an insane asylum". The medium here may be a cast of insane characters, but the ideas which emerge from their apparent insanity are as provocative and perceptively revealing as any scholarly treatise. Tonight, some of the dialogue was jarringly inappropriate, better suggesting IHC characters than these intelligently un-normal individuals.
