Jonathan Goad

JONATHAN GOAD is currently in his tenth season at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Last season, Jonathan played Harold Hill in The Music Man and Frondoso in Fuente Ovejuna. In the spring of 2007 Jonathan toured to Newfoundland with the Company Theatre’s production of A Whistle in the Dark. Previous lives in theatre include Iago (Othello), Leo Katz (Pentecost), Valentine Xavier (Orpheus Descending), Edmund (King Lear), Pericles (The Adventures of Pericles), Hotspur (Henry IV), Philip (King John), Jack Cade (Henry VI), Dmitry (The Brothers Karamazov), Roger Tasset (Tempest-Tost), Costard (Love’s Labour’s Lost) and Theseus (The Two Noble Kinsmen). He recently directed Michael O’Brien’s Mad Boy Chronicle and Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale for Fanshawe College and worked on King Lear with the first-year National Theatre School students. When not playing make-believe he hopes to be found with Adrienne, their dogs and his growing family, or on land, sea or sky on some shape of board. Ideally, all of the above.
