Keep out of trouble, and say Hi to Judy, Jean-F.

I wasn't sure what to call the theatre Spacey worked at Jean. I knew it was the Old Vic, but in some things I read, it was described as the National Theatre. On closer reading, I found out the National Theatre had been based there at one time, but not in recent years. My mistake. I used to walk by the Old Vic when I spent a lot of time in London back in the 70s. It is such an ordinary, unremarkable building. It's theatrical history is amazing, and I wish I had gone to see a play there.
Kevin Spacey did some remarkable work there, and was also involved in raising funds to help ensure the future financial well being of this historical theatre. This unselfish, thoughtful side of his character, makes his fall from grace especially sad for me.
