PERFORMANCES IN MAY 2017

A 23-night run at The Cockpit London
including four days of special events

Reality is what you can get away with.

“Cosmic Trigger deals with a process of deliberately induced brain change. This
process is called ‘initiation’ or ‘vision quest’ in many traditional societies
and can loosely be considered some dangerous variety of self-psychotherapy in
modern terminology. I do not recommend it for everybody… briefly, the main thing
I learned during my experiments is that ‘reality’ is always plural and mutable.”
– Robert Anton Wilson

 

In 1976 Ken Campbell staged Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea’s trilogy of
novels called Illuminatus, an attempt to “do for the state what Voltaire did for
the church”; in which they attempted to portray a world in which every known
conspiracy theory was true.

Wilson then wrote the non-fiction book Cosmic Trigger in an attempt to explain
what had happened to him as a direct result of writing Illuminatus, as well as
his other brain-change experimentation.

This book has been changing the lives of those lucky enough to stumble upon it
since it was first published in 1977. Daisy Campbell decided to adapt it, both
in homage to the mind-expanding philosophy of Wilson, and to her father and his
epic production of Illuminatus.

 

“In researching occult conspiracies, one eventually faces a crossroad of mythic
proportions – known as Chapel Perilous in the trade” – Robert Anton Wilson

 

Turn on, tune in, find the others.

 


COSMIC TRIGGER PODCASTS

In the run up to the May 2017 performances we recorded four podcasts that delved
behind the scenes to find out what a Cosmic Trigger is and what happens when you
pull it.  Listen via Apple here.

In 2019 Daisy Campbell and David Bramwell plundered the audio archive of theatre
maverick and raconteur Ken Campbell to bring you some of his finest monologues
and other specially recorded episodes; celebrating one of the most hilarious and
unclassifiable talents of our time.  Listen via Apple here or via Spotify here
or via Google (for Android) here.
