Casey Anthony saga turned into play

ORLANDO, FL (AP) -- An Australian theatre company is performing a play based on the Caylee Anthony saga.
 
Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh created "Tot Mom" from court documents and excerpts of CNN Headline News' Nancy Grace show. The argumentative host helped make the case a national phenomenon with relentless coverage, coining alleged killer Casey Anthony as the "Tot Mom."
 
Grace is apparently a prominent figure in the production. She's being played by Essie Davis, who appeared in "Australia" and "The Matrix Revolutions."
 
A spokeswoman said Grace had no comment on the play.
 
The Sydney Theatre Company is staging the play Dec. 18 to Jan. 31. Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett and her husband are artistic directors of the prestigious group.
 
Anthony has pleaded not guilty in the case and says a baby sitter kidnapped her daughter.
