Blur sometime frontman and cartoon band officionado Damon "All-Bran" Albarn is set to go all serious on us. He's said to be working with renowned playwright Roy Williams on a so-called retort to the soppy Richard Curtis film, 'Notting Hill'.National Theatre director Nicholas Hytner explains: Damon is one of the most unique and inventive musicians of the moment.
"We introduced him to Roy Williams and they discovered Ladbroke Grove in common. They have been working on it for the past nine months and I have been absolutely thrilled by the stuff they have been producing together.
"The piece will be about the diverse culture that is Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill.
"It will allow Damon to develop his passionate interest in the many musical styles that have emerged from Notting Hill over the past four decades."
