Fleur de Cap Award winner and seven-time nominee - Godfrey Johnson's most recent nominations are for the highly successful 'VASLAV'. Defying theatrical, musical, and platform categorisations, the Award's panel gave 'Vaslav' the distinction of three separate category nominations in the same year.
Godfrey Johnson found critical acclaim as a young man, performing his first self-written 'one-man-show' in his early twenties. A skilled pianist with an unusually matured musicality by time finished school, Godfrey began exploring his true voice. He developed a naturally distinct ability to accompany himself, and bring both himself and his listeners closer to the real stories of our lives.

His work as a theatrical director continues to grow, with audience and critical success and appreciation from the casts, writers and producers. He recently returned from Johannesburg, directing Leonardo se Poort and Kruger for the Foxwood Festival
