BIOGRAPHY
The late Daniel A. "Danny" Campbell, M. Sc. was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica, and attended the University College of the West Indies from 1950-1955 at the same time as Derek Walcott. In Trinidad in the early `60's, Campbell reacquainted himself with Walcott, and introduced him to his wife, Leone, who in turn became a core member of the early Trinidad Theatre Workshop. An avid amateur photographer, Mr. Campbell was a founder and member of the many camera clubs in Trinidad at that time. He died in October 1962.

The Trinidad Theatre Workshop: Pioneers and Premières By Jettsamm Publishing
"Culled from the photograph library of Daniel A. "Danny" Campbell, a contemporary of Derek Walcott at UCWI in Jamaica, this booklet serves as a memorial to the first public performance in May 1962, and some founding actors of the Little Carib Theatre Workshop. In time, to be called the Trinidad Theatre Workshop, these pioneers paved the way for the most important theatre company in the West Indies, and indeed became part of theatre and West Indian history.
"At the Little Carib Theatre in Port of Spain in May 1962, Dennis Scott's "The Caged" and Samuel Beckett's "Krapp's Last Tape" were performed for the public. Campbell, armed with his Yashica 635 twin-lens reflex camera, was on spot to capture the rehearsals of these performances. Discovered after 35 years, Danny Campbell's negatives--two strips of 12 exposure Kodak™120 roll type film--notes and portraits record the initial stage of Derek Walcott's dream of a world class theatre incorporating West Indian dance movements and speech patterns. Ralph Campbell's essay connects the time, place and people involved. He is Daniel Campbell's younger brother, and one of those pioneers in the Workshop captured here. Ralph was there, and as such acts as the nexus who completes the circle."
