麻豆约拍

Offred embarks on Serena Joy's plan and witnesses the brutality of the new regime.

Margaret Attwood鈥檚 multi-award-winning futuristic dystopian novel.

The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness.

But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.

Abridged by Katie Campbell.

Read by Buffy Davis.

Producer: Sally Avens

First broadcast on 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 in November 1995.
