The notorious, glorious and late Amy Winehouse will be remembered and celebrated once again as her life is adapted into play-form that will open on the stage in Copenhagen in January 2013. The play will be called 'Amy'.

According to the Danish Royal Theatre, in Denmark's capital, the intention of the play is to illustrate the "enormous pressure a sensationalist public put on a young superstar when her problems began." Indeed, Amy went from zero to hero in a matter of months, with her second album Back to Black which featured songs that have become contemporary classics; Rehab, Back to Black and Love is a Losing Game. The play has been written in Danish by 'The Red Room' (Det Roede Rum, in the native Danish), which is a group of 11 writers and is, according to the Telegraph, based upon interviews, speeches, newspaper articles, letters, concerts and Amy's songs, and will focus on her relationships with drugs, alcohol and Blake Fielder-Civil. If the show is a success it will undoubtedly be translated and toured around Europe and further afield. 

Amy died in tragic circumstances in 2011 but is still loved and revered by fans all over the world. She has also had singles released posthumously. With a voice like no other, the task of playing Amy and singing her songs will be mammoth, but Dane Johanne Louise Schmidt will certainly give it her best shot.
