But what about a play full of new-age romantic tension, well-thought plot, dynamic characters, and witty comments on subjects that are somehow relevant to both post-WW1 Britain and our modern society? Come see <a href=\"https:\/\/firstfolio.org\/?production=agatha-christies-the-secret-council\">The Secret Council<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the all-time mystery icon, Agatha Christie comes her most dashing and romantic duo thus far. If you loved Nancy Drew growing up as a kid, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Secret Council<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would get you excitedly fidgeting in the seat.

Instead, their love is subtle, balanced, and flows so naturally like how it would in real life between two best friends who haven\u2019t taken the step forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Rices certainly knows how to tell a story without falling into the exhausting cliches, especially when adapting from genre fiction. He didn\u2019t let the play turn into a sloppy chic-lit detective story with more emphasis on love than finding the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But even with the two apart throughout most of the play, we never forgot the underlying romantic plot. The romance aspect was enough to keep us giggling at the cute interactions between the two, but never too much that it takes an audience away from the plot, and more importantly, Tuppence\u2019s brilliant intelligence and independence.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_406551\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-406551\" style=\"width: 1812px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-406551\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC6-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"the secret council faust ensemble\" width=\"1812\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC6-scaled.jpg 1812w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC6-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC6-2000x1325.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC6-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC6-1536x1017.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC6-2048x1356.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC6-370x245.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC6-842x558.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC6-406x269.jpg 406w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC6-600x397.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1812px) 100vw, 1812px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-406551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Tom McGrath<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This genius move allowed the play to shine in various ways without any one of them outshining the others. You would certainly appreciate the fluidity in the set design, and the cunning decision to have the same actor\/actress play different roles in the ensemble (how we loved Foust\u2019s portrayal of these characters!).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And knowing the show\u2019s focus isn\u2019t the love story, the audience would easily pick up on the witty comments placed throughout that totally fit today\u2019s society as well. Therefore, the genius of The Secret Council is how it stepped in front of us as another genre play for some fun and puzzles, but left us with so much more to think about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like how the relationship between Tuppence and Tommy is so different from our conventional, over-the-top love. Or how coincidentally familiar the Secret Council and their wrongdoings are if we look at our society nowadays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, if you want to see a strong woman kicking ass, facing her feelings, and calling out all the evil, selfish bastards that we know in real life too, come see The Secret Council at First Folio Theater. This is not your old-school romance mystery. It is certainly a warm beam in this bitter winter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tickets are available <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/firstfolio.org\/?production=agatha-christies-the-secret-council\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_406552\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-406552\" style=\"width: 1800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-406552\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC5-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"tuppence with ensemble the secret council\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC5-scaled.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC5-2000x1333.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC5-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC5-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC5-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC5-842x561.jpg 842w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC5-406x271.jpg 406w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/SC5-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-406552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image Credit: Tom McGrath<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Logistic Details<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First Folio is easy to get to from the East-West Tollway (I-88) or the Stevenson Expressway (I-55).
