Jeremy Johnson graduated from NIDA (acting) in 1984. His first play ‘Helen Keller - The Musical’ was described by the critic in SMH as “The most disgusting thing I have ever seen on stage.” Jeremy went on to found La Luna Youth Theatre in Townsville, and co-authored the TV mini-series ‘The Artificial Gods’ with Anthony Shaffer.
