Welcome to the Compendium Welcome to the Compendium, created by Ngoc in 1997, chock full of more info about Kenneth Branagh than you ever imagined existed. To quote Ngoc's original intro: "the guy acts, he sings, he dances, he directs, he writes, he channels Bill Shakespeare on a regular basis, he's an awfully nice chap, and he's kinda cute. In the minor deity hierarchy, Kenneth Charles Branagh is one level below Joe Montana (the greatest quarterback of the greatest football team ever) and just above the guy who invented Pepsi".

He's also the Kenergizer, Kinetic Ken, Multi-tasKen, etc. etc. You get the picture... the Compendium runs along behind, in the trail of interviews, articles and photos, trying to grab as many as possible.

Enjoy! Oh yeah, please read the all-important (so say my lawyers) disclaimer before proceeding.

Resistance is futile.
It's in the bag! Once again the Ken-Friends have celebrated Kenneth Branagh's birthday with a donation to Project Shakespeare, a non-profit organisation close to his heart. This year a nifty tote bag, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Renaissance Theatre Company, was produced to raise funds for Kenneth's 47th birthday. Click here to learn about this and previous donations, and see pictures of project coordinator Jude Tessel meeting with Kenneth in New York (thanks to his very cool and conspiratorial assistant) to make the 1998 presentation.
