ORLANDO BLOOM has a confession to make. When he was first sent the script of the David Storey play In Celebration, he “didn’t know who David Storey was”. And the ignorance, it seems, was mutual. “No, I’m afraid I hadn’t heard of Orlando,” the playwright happily confesses.

The 30-year-old actor has never appeared professionally on stage, having spent his whole decade as an actor in epic films, including Troy and Kingdom of Heaven, with a special line in high- octane trilogies: as Legolas in The Lord of the Rings, and as Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean.
