He's more usually seen on the big screen but this spring/summer Pirates of the Caribbean actor Orlando Bloom takes to the London stage for the first time in 11 years playing a cop who moonlights as a killer-for-hire. Tracy Letts' blackly comic thriller, Killer Joe, comes to Trafalgar Studios as Bloom is joined by an all-star cast including Sophie Cookson, Adam Gillen, Neve McIntosh and Steffan Rhodri. The plot follows the Smith family who hatch a plan to murder their estranged matriarch for her insurance money. They hire Joe Cooper, a police detective and part-time contract killer, to do the job. But things don't exactly go to plan. Please note: this production contains adult themes and nudity and is recommended for ages 16 and over.
About Trafalgar Studios
The Trafalgar Studios are two venues housed within what was London's Whitehall Theatre. The building itself is Grade II listed, and is an excellent example of simple, unadorned Art Deco style. The interior, however, is spectacular, with complex, cubist designs and sweeping curves of moulding and ironwork. More about Trafalgar Studios
