A play based on Amy Winehouse's life, performed by the
Danish Royal Theatre, is to open in Copenhagen next year.
It will feature
music from the singer's two studio albums Frank and Back To Black.
Organisers said
the performance would focus on "the enormous pressure a sensationalist
public put on a young superstar when her problems began".
A spokesperson
for the Winehouse family has confirmed that they have had nothing to do with
the production.
The play is
based on material from interviews, acceptance speeches, concerts, newspapers,
letters and songs.
It will be
performed at the Danish Royal Theatre's 220-capacity Red Room theatre in
Copenhagen, beginning on 30 January.
The part of Amy
Winehouse will be played by 29-year-old actress Johanne Louise Schmidt.
Amy Winehouse
was found dead in her home in Camden, north London, aged 27 in July 2011 from
alcohol poisoning.
