Spacey honoured for Old Vic revival

Kevin Spacey has been honoured for his part in revitalising London's Old Vic theatre.

The Hollywood actor impressed judges with the theatre's revival of Alan Ayckbourn's The Norman Conquests, for which he served as creative director.

He also received praise for his role in David Mamet's Speed the Plow this year.

The Young Vic won the award for best musical for Kurt Weill's Street Scene.

Earlier this year, Spacey was named a Visiting Professor of Contemporary Theatre at Oxford University.
