Jesse LaPointe couldn’t be happier to be back with Bard in the Barracks for his fourth year as part of The Adventures of Pericles. Coming off performances as Laertes in Hamlet and Romeo in Romeo and Juliet, Jesse is excited to share a lesser-known play with audiences who are eager to be taken on a true adventure. Jesse will be taking on several roles in the production this year and is happy to be stretching his acting muscles with plenty of interesting characters. Among them, he will be playing the part of Cerimon, a charitable physician with eccentric tastes who is at the centre of one of the play’s most exciting and pivotal scenes, one of the most breathtaking (literally…) moments in all of Shakespeare’s plays.
