Emma Fuhrmann has been cast as the lead character in a new play called Call Me by Your Name, which is set to begin running on Broadway soon. This actress is best known for her starring role in the film’s The Blind Side, The Descendants, and High School Confidential among others. As a former rising star in the entertainment industry Emma has certainly achieved success as an actor and actress. However, in this latest play she is playing an older character, which makes one wonder what age range she might actually be portraying. Well, according to the play’s director David Seidler, Emma is meant to be aged in her early twenties. It is interesting that she has been cast in this play, which clearly indicates that she is very accomplished as an actress, but at what age did she actually achieve success as an actress?
A Call Me by Your Name main character is Dr. Ellen Tracy, played by Mia Farrow who is originally from Texas, now lives in New York City. At the beginning of the play, we see that Dr. Tracy is desperately looking for love again after being married to a man twenty years her senior, omer Sage. She has also met her own personal avenger, Quantrelli, who wants to get close to her and ask her out, but he isn’t as sympathetic as she would like. Quantrelli is the type of person who likes to dominate the women he finds and does not like to have boundaries.
The interesting thing about Emma Fuhrmann’s portrayal of Quantrelli is that he has been written as a kind of anti-hero, yet in the book he is shown to be much more sympathetic than most anti-heroes are. The movie version of Quantrelli is also much different in his psychological make-up, whereas Fuhrmann’s character is more straight-forward. As a result the endgame between the two characters is very different, although Emma Fuhrmann did try to add some romance between her former lover, Will Sage. In the end, though, her attempt to win him back just failed, as sage just didn’t want to give it up. This version of the endgame in A Midsummer Night’s Dream was not one I would recommend, but then again, I don’t think it’s necessary to watch the movie to get an idea of how the end of the romance with sage works out.
