Kenneth Branagh's dinner
I was speaking to Richard Bean earlier today about his new play "The Big Fellah" which opens in the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith in London next week. And I remembered a summer job there, *cough* in 1987 in the theatre cafe. I got to serve dinner every night for six weeks to Kenneth Branagh . He was the lead in a thriller he had written set in Belfast called "Public Enemy". He had written for his newly formed Renaissance Theatre Company. I got a ticket one night. Even then he was getting a name and there was a real buzz around the theatre, but all I could think was that I knew what he'd had for his dinner. The spaghetti bolognese. Richard tells me the cafe has had a make over but doesn'tknow what the menu is for the run of his play! Could I suggest the Ken Branagh special?
