 |
| Richard Corbin is an architect with access to a posh skybox, and one evening he invites two couples who've never met: Marshall and Margo, who are well-off, suburban, and obnoxious; and Arno and Thada, who are struggling, bohemian, and obnoxious. By the end of Act 1, they have erupted into violent loathing, and one of them meets an untimely end. But in Act 2 we get to see everything the clueless Corbin missed when he was out of the room, giving us an astonishing new perspective -- it's an ingenious, unpredictable, hilarious farce wrapped inside a mystery. |

| "Like the best skits of the earliest Saturday Night Live episodes, What Corbin Knew satirizes society's mores and manners." |
