Extraordinary True Story Of Erin Patterson & The Deadly Poisonous Mushrooms To Be Told In ABC Australia Drama Series
Erin Patterson and the poisonous mushrooms story is becoming an ABC drama 'Toxic' created by Elise McCredie and Tony Ayres.
Patterson was charged with multiple counts of murder after three of her guests died and a fourth spent months in hospital following a lunch where she served them beef wellington that contained the toxic ‘Death Cap’ mushroom. The barely believable story has amassed mega press interest due to more than a dollop of intrigue around what appears to have been an intense family feud, and it has felt only a matter of time before the events were re-told via TV drama. McCredie described the events as a “tangled, heart-breaking story.” “Sitting in on the trial, watching evidence unfurl, change direction, and reposition itself has been an exercise in the subjectivity of ‘truth’ and a blueprint for a dramatic retelling that explores multiple perspectives in an honest and compelling way,” she added.
