Artist Scoop Jonathan Douglas is known to radio listeners in Hong Kong as the host of RTHK Radio 4’s “Morning Call” and other arts and classical music programmes. His book “Noteworthy”, which was written to celebrate RTHK Radio 4’s 30th anniversary, is based on thirty of his broadcast interviews with international artists. During his time with RTHK Jonathan has been involved in a range of programmes, including the “Worldplay” radio drama series which he directed for the annual “Worldplay” International Festival. His acting credits in Hong Kong include Hamlet and King Richard II in Shakespeare’s plays, Mick in Pinter’s “The Caretaker”, Trofimov in Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard” and most recently, Clov in Beckett’s “Endgame”. His portrayal of the first-world-war poet and composer Ivor Gurney in the play by Pier Gray found favour with critics and audiences in both Hong Kong and Edinburgh. More recently Jonathan was narrator in the Hong Kong Bach Choir’s performance of Honegger’s “King David” held during Le French May 2006. His other passions include playing the piano and writing songs, and he is occasionally to be found around town singing the blues.
