Ken Campbell

Kenneth Victor Campbell (10 December 1941 – 31 August 2008) was an English actor, writer and director, known for his work in experimental theatre. He has been called "a one-man dynamo of British theatre".

Campbell achieved notoriety in the 1970s for his nine-hour adaptation of the science-fiction trilogy Illuminatus! and his 22-hour staging of Neil Oram's play cycle The Warp. The Guinness Book of Records listed the latter as the longest play in the world.

He was married to Prunella Gee (m. 1978; div. 1983) with whom he was the father of Daisy Campbell.
