Stefán Karl in Life x3 by Yasmina Reza From 2002






Translated review of the play

“How would my life be if … Perhaps everyone asks at some time of the question what had happened if you had done things otherwise - responded to circumstances differently but man did; - behave like this but not queer;- see things in a different light than one did; would not let the emotions play with them the way you did. About these questions discusses a new play, life three times,by Yasminu Reza, who was premiered field of the National Theater last night. 

Cast There are four, Ólafía Hrönn Jónsdóttir, Sigurður Sigurjónsson, Stefán Karl Stefánsson and Steinunn Ólína Þorsteinsdóttir, but the director is Viðar Eggertsson. The play deals with two astrologers, Henri (Stefán Karl) and his boss, Hubert (Sigurður) and their wives their lawyer Sonia (Steinunn Ólína) and Inès (Ólafía Hrönn) Henri and Sonia expect Hubert and Inès for dinner, where a possible promotion will be discussed Henri and an article he has just finished galaxy studies, - and Now they are met, Hubert and Inès, a day before there was hope for them, and nothing in the fridge!

We may never repeat our lives; - Yes, except in the theater. “The special thing about the work is that of knowledge after the first episode supports and multiplies our experience of the second episode, "says Author Eggertsson. "The spectrum of the person will be even more. And after first and second we have much more knowledge they than they give up, and we know more about how they feel get to know them through the previous two episodes.

writer play the same way characters in the same situation, but the focus changes are in their response and emotional life towards what happens. Outcome may be the same in the end, but We are aware of the different responses of the people 
every aspect; - depending on daytime, - or just the way people walk out of bed on that day. Gradually it becomes more healthy and multifaceted image of the people. This has been a very fun show for us who have been working on this, and hopefully also for those who see the show.”


Plot line undercut Taken from TheaterMania

Stefán Karl in “Cyrano de Bergerac” from 2001 to 2002

“ Hercule Savinien Cyrano de Bergerac, a cadet (nobleman serving as a soldier) in the French Army, is a brash, strong-willed man of many talents. In addition to being a remarkable duelist, he is a gifted, joyful poet and is also a musician. However, he has an extremely large nose, which causes him to doubt himself. This doubt prevents him from expressing his love for his distant cousin, the beautiful and intellectual Roxane, as he believes that his ugliness would prevent him the “dream of being loved by even an ugly woman.”

From the wiki page of the play






Stefán Karl Stefánsson has recently become one of the most popular actors of the nation. He talks about Cyrano de Bergerac, love and solitude - 29.12.2001

I sit at the painter’s desk on a day many will call the third day of Christmas. waiting for ten minutes, had made me an unnecessary barbecue about the open space of the place. At the end of the day, I am lured by friendly staff. Stefán Karl, however, has not arrived. I sat out in the corner, opera street, and take care of me, order espresso. I’ll shuffle some piles down on a sheet. Stefán Karl has agreed to talk to me about love, the timing appropriate because he played one of the biggest roles in the night when the National Theater premiere Cyrano - a spooky heroic play by Edmund Rostand. He plays Cyrano, the one in love who has a big nose. The doors open and Stefán Karl sets the floor in a well-dressed and fresh fashion; gets a seat.
