The astounding monologue of Daisy Eris Campbell's celebrated one-woman show.
In addition to John Higgs' introduction, this edition also contains Jason Watkins' review of Pigspurt's Daughter which won the Observer/Anthony Burgess Prize for Arts Journalism 2019. A full color edition with photographs from the live performance plus a special section of Campbell family photos.
Director, actor, writer, Daisy Eris Campbell grew up in the lunatic world of her father, master storyteller Ken Campbell, described by The Guardian obituary as the most original and unclassifiable talent in British theatre of the past half-century. Daisy was literally conceived backstage at her father's 12-hour staging of Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's epic production of Illuminatus!, in which her mother Prunella Gee played Eris, the 50-foot Goddess of Discord. In Pigspurt's Daughter, Daisy presents a surreal and comedic monologue that magnificently continues her family legacy of lunacy.
Prior to Pigspurt's Daughter, Daisy adapted and directed Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger in 2014 and 2017 in Liverpool and London to great acclaim. She also directed The KLF's comeback, Welcome to the Dark Ages. She worked with her father for many years on productions, notably directing the world's longest play The Warp, and a West-End run of Macbeth in Pidgin English, Makbed. Pigspurt's Daughter is her first solo show.
