WOS Photos: Spacey Grabs Another Choice Prize

For the second year running, Old Vic artistic director and Hollywood movie star Kevin Spacey has won the Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers’ Choice Award for Best Actor. Last year, he was crowned cream of the crop for his portrayal of Richard II – directed by this year’s Best Director winner, Trevor Nunn – while this year it was his role as Jim Tyrone in Howard Davies’ revival of Eugene O’Neill’s A Moon for the Misbegotten that won him the accolade.

What’s On Stage Magazine’s editor, Roger Foss, paid a visit to the Old Vic to present Spacey with his 2007 Theatregoers’ Choice Award.

WHAT SPACEY SAID:

“It’s very gratifying for me personally to receive this award, but even more so for us as a company because it represents an entire production. There is no way that my work on A Moon for the Misbegotten can be recognised without everyone else involved being part of it too, including our extraordinary director. To have been under the guiding hand of Howard Davies yet again in another remarkable Eugene O’Neill piece with a cast who believed in the play and Howard’s vision of it was a huge experience for everyone. And now we have the joy of taking it to Broadway as the first Old Vic Company production on Broadway. It’s very exciting – and to receive this just before we set off for New York is just wonderful. So thank you to all those people who came to see the play and to all of you who participated on the website and voted.”
