Orlando Bloom Prepares to Grace West End Stage
With three record setting Pirates of the Caribbean movies under his belt, Orlando Bloom had to decide what was next for his career. Instead of launching into yet another movie, Bloom has decided to take a turn on the stage in London’s famous West End.
Bloom will star in David Storey’s “In Celebration” at the Duke of York’s Theater. It will mark the stage debut for the big screen actor when the show opens next month. “I have been kind of desperate to do a play for the longest time and this opportunity came up when I met this director, Anna Mackmin, who I’m now working with on a play called In Celebration - a play by David Storey. I was just hungering for an opportunity to be part of an ensemble cast in a great play. It’s a phenomenal play,” Bloom told press.
The role has Bloom developing a new accent, a variation on his own British dialect. “I tell you what my dialect coach, Jill, said ‘Whatever you do, don’t do your accent - save it for the audience [paying] when they come in!’ I’m working on it though!”
According to the play’s summary, “In Celebration” is an exploration of family love and of how the consequences of best intentions can threaten to destroy treasured hopes and dreams. Three brothers return home to the Northern roots of their childhood for a family reunion. Although they have returned to celebrate, the explosive complexities of family life and long-held grievances are unlikely to improve the chances of a decent party.
If you happen to find yourself wandering around London in the next ten weeks, stop by the Duke of York’s theater and check out Orlando’s performance.
