Amy Winehouse play to open in Copenhagen

Late singer Amy Winehouse’s life will be charted in Amy, a new play at Copenhagen’s Danish Royal Theatre. 

Written in Danish by an 11-strong consortium named Det Roede Rum (The Red Room), the play will use “material from interviews, acceptance speeches, concerts, newspapers, letters and songs from the album Frank and Back to Black” to portray the “enormous pressure a sensationalist public put on a young superstar when her problems began” [via The Telegraph].

Winehouse died in London last Summer, though she’s enjoyed a posthumous presence in music this year, taking the hook on ‘Cherry Wine’, a track from Nas’s latest album Life is Goodand being covered by Zed Bias, Swindle and more on a tribute CD.

Last month, it was announced that Winehouse’s BBC performances would be compiled on a CD and DVD box-set, titled Amy Winehouse at the BBC. 

Amy the play will open on January 30, 2013.
