Johnson Insanitized
Multi award winning performer Godfrey Johnson presents an all-new decontaminated one man extravaganza. In a celebration of ‘live’ music Johnson plunges into the piano with his extraordinary hands, and pulls out the songs and stories that litter his pathway to a sober world, and shed light on a way of living in the ‘New Normal’.

Linking his own songs with those of Tom Waits, Johnson wades through the shock of Denial. Joe Jackson joins Supertramp and more of his own as he vents the Anger and interrogates the Bargaining. Who else but Dorothy Parker can see us through a nuanced Depression? Whilst the light of Billy Joel leads the charge of Acceptance.
Join Godfrey Johnson at the Drama Factory, as he takes us all with him to the other side of pandemonium.
