Playwright Samantha Hurley has a debut play in London called I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire. Here's how the play explores teen girls and fandom.
Teenage girls have carried on parasocial relationships with actors and singers since the dawn of celebrity culture, but only one — that we know of, anyway — has gone so far as to kidnap her famous crush: Shelby Hinkley, the fictional teen at the center of Samantha Hurley’s play I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire .
“When I was writing Tobey, I was like, I'm gonna write this play to make my friend Tyler laugh,” she says. “It was created in a vacuum of no expectations. That's what was really exciting and magical.” Hurley compares the experience of writing and putting on I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire to being at summer camp; her friend Struble directs the production, while another college friend, Jacob Stuckelman, helped produce the play.
