KEVIN SPACEY, the Oscar-winning American actor, has promised a six-figure
sum to help save London's Old Vic theatre.
Spacey disclosed yesterday that he and other leading actors, including Dame
Judi Dench, Jeremy Irons, Lord Attenborough and David Suchet, are behind
plans to return it to its glory days under the late Lord Olivier, when it
gave birth to the National Theatre.
The actor, who won an Oscar for his role in American Beauty, said that he had
been "in love" with the Old Vic since the age of five, when his parents
brought him to London. He said he planned to act at the Old Vic "in two to
three years time" after working on four films.
Among possible plans are acting with Peter O'Toole and doing a stage comedy
with Sam Mendes, the director of American Beauty. Unveiling the plans
yesterday, Mr Spacey's 41st birthday, he disclosed that he had flown to
London the previous day on Concorde and was in the air at the time of the
Paris crash. He said: "I had my heart in my mouth when I heard the news."
Ambitious new plans will see the 1,000-seat Old Vic, built in 1818, in
Waterloo, south London, producing plays for itself, the rest of the West End
and Broadway. It was saved from the threat of redevelopment two years ago
when a charitable trust with backers including Spacey and Peter Mandelson,
bought it for Ł3.5 million
