Reviews – What The Critics Are Saying:
“Deeply obsessive love stories aren’t rendered as comedies particularly often — they’re more likely to show up as taut films with titillating titles like Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct. But when you think about it, single-mindedness of focus, taken to absurd extremes, is a crucial component of farce, and isn’t that a perfect word for describing many romantic relationships? So come up with two killer characters who really want each other and something or someone to get in their way and add an equal amount of laughs, and you have the makings of a crackling dramatic work. That’s the recipe A.D. Penedo has followed…and the results are tasty indeed.”
TalkinBroadway
“Mix Mamet’s “Oleanna” with Ionesco’s “The Lesson” and you wind up with “The Three Times She Knocked.” A.D. Penedo’s intelligent and tightly written dramedy about lust and betrayal grabs from the first, although it takes a manic detour toward the end. Intensely directed by Christopher Windom, it’s an amusing cat-and-mouse game in the guise of budding romance.”
Backstage (Critic’s Pick)
“The Three Times She Knocked is entertaining from beginning to end and anchored by two intensely excellent performances. It balances moments of hilarity and discomfort, and finds a way to be almost cartoonishly over-the-top (with the intensity of Eric’s love) but never for a moment unbelievable. For love is an irrational thing. It borders on insanity at times. But just how insane can it make us? And just how irrational can we each get? The Three Times She Knocked may just answer that…”
