Pete Doherty to write musical with Carl Barat

It has been reported that Pete Doherty is reuniting with his former Libertines band mate Carl Barat to write a musical for a well-known London theatre.

Producers at London’s highbrow Donmar Ware house have commissioned the indie duo to write a rock musical to coax younger folk down to the theatre.

The singer, now frontman with Dir ty Pretty Things said that “A producer from the theatre approached me through my record label. So I went down there to see a play and we met up for a chat. He asked me if I was still in contact with Pete and whether we would be interested in writing a musical together for The Donmar for the early part of 2009. I asked Pete and he loves the idea. He has invited me to Wiltshire this week to start writing it. But first we have to sit down and think about the rock and roll story.”

What do you think of the idea?
