SOMEONE’S KNOCKING
an odd little comedy
by Rich Orloff
(2 w., 3 m., 1 either)
 

“Absurdly clever. Orloff fills this comedic gem with line after line of savory humor. Orloff’s terrific dialogue is buttressed by conceptual daring.”
        Backstage West
 

“A wacky, charming and terribly funny spoof of just about everything. Quite simply a delight.”
        The Vermont Times-Argus
 

SOMEONE'S KNOCKING focuses on a married woman afraid of "out there", whose marriage and life change radically when Opportunity knocks on her door – literally. (Imagine A DOLL’S HOUSE as rewritten by Ionesco and Monty Python.) The play is designed for a cast of six or more, some playing multiple roles, and is usually produced on a very simple set.
