LOS ANGELES, July 21 ― No, this isn't another Netflix production. In Edinburgh, a new stage musical with the same name as the true-crime series― one of the streaming giant's flagship documentaries ― will be making its debut in August. The show offers another way to highlight the tragedy behind this miscarriage of justice in the US.. And that, writer Phil Mealey understands.

The show will obviously revisit the same true-crime story told in the documentary: the tragic fate of Steven Avery, a young American who spent 18 years behind bars, wrongly accused of sexual assault and murder, as well as Brendan Dassey, his nephew, whose confession was allegedly extracted by police.

The purpose of this project? To highlight the incoherence of certain aspects of the case that seems implausible. All of which proved a veritable gold mine for the writer: “As a writer I saw so many astonishing twists and turns and intriguing characters that if this were written as an original story no-one would believe it was plausible,” Phil Mealey told.
