Orlando Bloom to Make West End Debut in July

According to Variety, Orlando Bloom will make his West End debut in David Storey's In Celebration. The play will be directed by Anna Mackmin and produced by Sonia Friedman. Speculation says that the production will open in July at Trafalgar Studios. 

The play is a family drama about three young men who travel back home to Yorkshire for their parents' anniversary.  Tension soon begins to tear at the family's illusions of happiness and security. The play premiered at the Royal Court in 1969. The 1975 film adaptation starred Alan Bates and was directed by Lindsay Anderson.

Bloom is probably best known for his film roles in The Lord of the Rings and the The Pirates of the Caribbean series. Orlando Bloom trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where he appeared in productions such as The Seagull, Twelfth Night and The Trojan Women, so he is no stranger to the stage.
