"The days get shorter, a cold chill moves through the air, string lights sparkle in your neighborhood, a faint waft of pine floats your way, and inexplicably Kevin Spacey appears to do an odd bit of press. For whatever reason, the actor has a tendency to pop up around the holidays, typically in an ominous social-media video (like his "Let Me Be Frank" series), but this year, he is promoting a one-man music and storytelling show called Kevin Spacey: Songs & Stories"
"that he has been trying to tour but has only been able to mount in Cyprus for an audience of "mostly real-estate developers." The nature of the show - where Spacey regales the audience with old standards and stories from his childhood - is steeped in nostalgia, which is just about the only way to approach Spacey's celebrity eight years after he was first accused of sexual assault by more than 50 men."
Kevin Spacey appears in seasonal social-media videos and is promoting a one-man music and storytelling show titled Kevin Spacey: Songs & Stories. The show has only been mounted in Cyprus for an audience described as mostly real-estate developers. The performance centers on old standards and childhood stories, using nostalgia to frame a complicated celebrity status after accusations by more than 50 men eight years earlier. An acquittal on nine UK charges two years ago did not restore broad Hollywood access, pushing work into Mediterranean markets and crime films. Spacey remains confident that powerful filmmakers could revive his career, but no such industry return has materialized.
