Daisy Eris Campbell (born 1978),[citation needed] is a British writer, actress and theatre director. Daughter of actor and director Ken Campbell and actress and therapist Prunella Gee.[1] She staged The Warp, a revival of Neil Oram's 24-hour play (which her father had directed many times in the late seventies and early eighties) at The Everyman Theatre, Liverpool.[2] Campbell also adapted Robert Anton Wilson’s cult autobiographical book Cosmic Trigger for the stage.[3] She played the role of her mother in the play.[3] Cosmic Trigger is a kind of sequel to her father's adaptation of Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus! Allegedly, Daisy was conceived during the original production of Illuminatus! [3] In part, the play of Cosmic Trigger deals with the production of Ken Campbell's adaptation of Illuminatus! in Liverpool in 1976.[3]

In Liverpool, in 2017, she directed the KLF's Welcome to the Dark Ages.[4]

In 2018 Campbell was orchestrating and touring a group reading of the novelist Alistair Fruish's 46,000-word monosyllabic novel "The Sentence" around Britain.[5]
