We all know a Nat, usually a maternal figure without a filter, and Julia Johnson brought with her a sense of empathy for a character that could be easily read as insensitive – Theatre Haus
Johnson is one of the standouts of this production. Her lines are always delivered with conviction and a clear characterisation – Bravo Brisbane Photography – Naz Mulla Music – Brian Cavanagh

This year Julia played Nat in RABBIT HOLE [Ad Astra] and Gloucester in KING LEAR MONSTER SHOW [The Curators].
