Horrorshow? Libertines musical in the works
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly March 3rd, 2008

The most important news of the weekend, by some distance? Carl Barat is looking to sit down again with estranged ying Pete Doherty to write a musical.

The former Libertines hope to convene at some point to pen the show, though finding the opportunity and organisation to do that may throw up a significant barrier, time-keeping not among the most obvious of Doherty’s strengths.

Or so I’m told.

“We’re supposed to be writing some musical, which I really wanna do, but it’s a matter of timing it and sorting it really,” the Dirty Pretty Thing told the Mirror.

“It will be in the vein of the Threepenny Opera but I guess a bit more local to what we understand in the world today.”

Something like this, perhaps? Elbows akimbo, loves, ‘cor blimey geezer, lend us your phone, yeah fuck off, nice one.
