Former Libertines write musical

Pete Doherty and Carl Barat are working on a musical for the Donmar Warehouse theatre in London, which will reportedly follow an up-and-coming rock group.

Amy and Blake aren't the only ones working on projects across prison walls. Former Libertines bandmates Pete Doherty and Carl Barat are working on a musical for the Donmar Warehouse, a small but influential theatre in London, whose recent productions have starred Ewan McGregor and Gwyneth Paltrow. It is believed that the story of the show will follow the ups and downs of an up-and-coming rock group - something they know plenty about.

A spokesperson for the Donmar Warehouse said: "We are excited to be engaging with such brilliant talent". Barat added that, although they have been told that there are "no deadlines attached", expectations for the show are high. He said: "The theatre wants lots of new songs, We'll probably have to write about 20. But first we have to sit down and think about the rock n roll story".
