Focus on...Stephen Nichols

Soap Opera Weekly- May 7th , 2002 Issue

Stephen Nichols leaves his dark characters behind in order to play a
hopeless romantic in the comedic play "He Hunts", by Georges Feydeau,
adapted by Philip Littell.

Nichols stars as Moricet, a poet obsessed with his best
friend's wife. "I'm trying to convince her to have an affair with me
and I justify it because her husband is cheating on her, after all,"
Nichols explains.

"This is French farce: fast paced and wacky, mistaken identities,
bouncing off the walls comedy," Nichols laughs.

"The style of the production is colorful and highly theatrical."
The opportunity to return to theater was welcome. "I was telling my
wife that I wanted to do another play, and I wanted to find a comedy.
It came along at the right time."

"Doing theater really keeps my spirit alive," Nichols adds. "I have been
eating, drinking and sleeping this play. I'm exercising every muscle, acting
and otherwise, and my body aches all over from the physical demands of the
piece."
