It was great to finish MIF on a high with a very special performance of Macbeth, said to be Sir Kenneth Branagh’s last time performing the Scottish play. In the audience were the likes of Sex and the City’s Kim Cattrall, the comedian John Sessions, and my old friend Sean Wilson, amongst many others.
This was the final performance of MIF, but Saturday night’s performance was beamed live to 250 cinemas across the country, as well as to 5000 people watching on the big screen in the Bridgewater Hall car park! It was recorded to be broadcasted on television later this year – be sure not to miss it.
Yesterday we partied well into the night, as the cast and crew of al the shows, actors, entertainers, the festival team and my team all came together to celebrate.
We’re now back to normality, cleaning up after yesterday’s festivities when we served some wonderful Sunday Lunch Canapés, including roast beef with horseradish, roast pork with apple, lamb with mint, an aubergine vegetarian option and some fantastic potted salmon, which I’ll be sharing with you later this week, along with four other salmon recipes.
