David Johnson former founder of the Oldham Theatre Workshop and “Arguably Britain’s most successful independent acting tutor today” will kick off his new business venture this weekend at the Sunshine Studios in Manchester and Helen and I along with Nick, Jessica and Christopher would like to wish him and his team at David Johnson Drama well, if the turnout is anything like the turnout that we witnessed on the 21st of August at the ‘Friends Meeting House’ in Manchester then I am sure David’s new business will be a huge success.
