Direct from its critically acclaimed sold-out New York premiere, I’M GONNA MARRY YOU TOBEY MAGUIRE is coming to Southwark Playhouse for a limited run this summer.
This sharp new comedy, written by Samantha Hurley and directed by Tyler Struble, reminds us that with great obsession comes great heartache.
A Y2K farce, I’M GONNA MARRY YOU TOBEY MAGUIRE is a full-throttle explosion of our para-social relationships and the obsessions that detonate them.

It’s 2004. Shelby Hinkley is just like any other 14-year-old born in the 90s. Coping with the absence of her father, neglect of her mother, and ridicule by her classmates she has put all of her time and energy into the one thing that matters: Spiderman. When leading a devout online fan club proves insufficient to her needs, Shelby decides to risk it all for love, kidnap Tobey Maguire, and marry him… in her basement. As her fantasies of happily ever after start to crumble, she realizes that Tobey may not be the charismatic heartthrob, she thinks she knows.
