Pete Doherty and Carl Barât

Remember back in November when Carl Barât claimed that he and Pete Doherty might collaborate on a musical? At the Shockwaves NME Awards last week, Barât revealed that the duo have been commissioned by London’s Donmar Warehouse theatre and will start writing next week at Doherty’s new house in Marlborough, Wilts.
