Cool IN CELEBRATION

I have found a bunch of things on Orlando's play so I thought I'd start a thread under the name of the play specifically. If it's unnecessary, please delete.

I'll start with the oldest stuff first.....

Orlando Bloom thrilled with play role

Orlando Bloom has revealed that he was thrilled to be offered a part in a play after finishing work on the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

The actor has agreed to play Steven in David Storey's In Celebration, which will open at the Duke of York's Theatre in London 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," Bloom told Parkinson. "I was just hungering for an opportunity to be part of an ensemble cast in a great play. It's a phenomenal play."

Asked how he is coping with the Yorkshire accent required for the role, Orlando replied: "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!"

Parkinson airs at 10.25pm tonight on ITV1.
