Terry Johnson, Lisa Spirling

In 1978 an aspiring young playwright, in a flat-share off the North End Road, is wrestling with a play for the Royal Court. The phone rings. The man on the other end is called Ken and he’s about to teach our hero the pleasures and perils of serendipity…

Terry Johnson treads the boards once more (having avoided them for 35 years) with his new play about the truly original and unclassifiable Ken Campbell - legendary seeker, fearsome goader, and uniquely comedic thinker. KEN is a freewheeling reminiscence of a turbulent and inspiring relationship between two theatrical mavericks.
