Berlin, 1944: four women in Aryan drag vie to be the Fhrers personal secretary as he heads into a bunker with his girlfriend. As the Third Reich crumbles around them, mystery and secrets abound, causing tensions to escalate. Omer Abbas Salems fearsome, outrageous, and absurd new work examines complicity and the lies we tell ourselves as we mistake self-interest and supremacy for civic duty. This is Omer Abbas Salem's much anticipated first production as a playwright in Chicago.The Secretaries: A Parableby Omer Abbas Salem, directed by Laura Alcal Bakerat The Den Theatre 1331 N Milwaukee Ave. Chicago, IL 60622
