Radio Drama Revival

Showcasing the diversity and vitality of modern audio drama

Episode 191 – Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid Begins Her New Job…

September 17, 2010 By Fred

Handmaid's Tale Radio DramaWe continue our delicious treat of BBC radio drama this week with the second part of John Dryden’s inspired adaptation of Margaret Atwood‘s The Handmaid’s Tale. The story tells of a dismal future where the lines between church and state are no longer distinguishable, woman are no longer allowed to own property and free, fertile women are conscripted to become “handmaid’s” – stand-ins for infertile wives in a world where sterility seems rampant.

Also in this episode: Announcing the launch of Transcontinental Terror, a 6-hour audio festival going down on Halloween, and the availability of Starstruck, a new audio comic adventure on CD!

Part 2 of 3.
