Martin Freeman is appearing in a West End production, but is keeping quiet about the fact.
Freeman, star of The Office and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, is to star in Blue Eyes and Heels in the West End, but hopes that his fame will not be the reason that people watch it.
Radio 1 quotes him as saying: I'd rather do it anonymously.
"The opportunity to do something big in the West End or to be the vehicle of a thing - I don't really like that as a punter.
"I think the play is everything, the play has to be the star of it.
"I'm doing it in a small place in Soho and I hope no-one knows I'm in it."
