Caylee Anthony (Famiy Photot)
The Steven Soderbergh play based on the Casey Anthony case is getting rave reviews from Australian audiences.
‘Tot Mom’ opened at the Sydney Theatre Company and has consistently been playing to packed audiences.
The play stars Australian actress Essie Davis who plays HLN’s Nancy Grace and the production uses transcripts from her show, along with police reports, and court documents as part of the production.
WDBO reports that the “play has sparked the interest of Australian audiences who are for the most part unaware of the case.” Those who have seen it describe it as a “powerful drama” and “fascinating.”
The play is unique as it is reported to be a “mixed-media” production using no actors to play key roles such as Casey, her parents George and Cindy Anthony, her brother Lee, or the slain toddler, Caylee Anthony. In addition, during certain parts of the play, the audience must face a mirror to watch itself as it reacts to media reports surrounding the case.
Oscar-winning Soderbergh became interested in Casey and Caylee after watching Nancy Grace cover the case.
Casey is charged with the first-degree murder of her daughter, Caylee, 2. Her trial is scheduled to begin June 2010.
