But even once this information is imparted, the man at the other end doesn't hang up. He's called Ken. And he's about to change the young man's life forever. Olivier and Tony Award-winning writer Terry Johnson pays tribute to the truly original and unclassifiable Ken Campbell - maverick writer and theatre director, legendary practical joker and ?one of the strangest people in Britain' (The Guardian).
