She is best known for her book for the ABBA-inspired musical Mamma Mia! and screenplay for the film of the same name. The film became the highest-grossing British picture of all time in the UK,[2] and the biggest selling UK DVD of all time in January 2009.[3] She also co-wrote the 2018 sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Johnson grew up in Wickwar near Wotton-under-Edge and attended Katharine Lady Berkeley's School in Wotton.[4] She was expelled from school at 16,[5] married at 18 and divorced by the age of 24. She moved to Bristol and finding herself unemployed and with one child to support and another on the way she spotted a notice in the local paper for the Bristol Old Vic/HTV West playwriting competition. She wrote Rag Doll, using the pseudonym Maxwell Smart, a play about incest and child abuse, which won the competition and was staged by the Bristol Old Vic.[6] Further plays for the Bush Theatre in London, Bristol Old Vic and Show of Strength followed along with work on television series including Casualty, Love Hurts and Byker Grove. Johnson lives in Bristol and also owns a house in Pimlico, London.[7] In 2007 Johnson instituted The Catherine Johnson Award for Best Play[8] written by the five Pearson Playwrights' Scheme bursary winners from the previous year. Catherine won a bursary from the scheme in 1991. Catherine is a patron of the Wotton Electric Picture House[4] in Wotton-under-Edge, Bristol's Myrtle Theatre Company[9] and Arts and Community in Thornbury.[10] CreditsStage
