Was that attempted rape?

When Edward Norton tried to have unsimulated sex on stage with that woman, I can't remember the name of her character or the actor. Was that attempted rape? The movie doesn't seem to say it was, but he definitely didn't take no for an answer. I wonder how far he would've gone if he wasn't interrupted.

I suppose it was, but it was hard to take him seriously as a threat.

Put it this way, if she'd kneed him in the groin, what would probably upset him most is that she broke character.
