TO GILEAD AND BEYOND:
A Critical Look at Margaret Atwood’s Dystopia’s from The Handmaid’s Tale to The Testaments.
Thursday, March 5, 7pm
Please join us for an interactive conversation of Margaret Atwood’s Booker Prize winning novel The Testaments, set fifteen years after Offred, the protagonist in The Handmaid’s Tale, escapes the Republic of Gilead. Our discussion, facilitated by Dr. Anna Katsavos, will focus on freedom, power, and gender politics, key themes in both works. We will also view clips from the 1990 film as well as from the more recent Hulu series.
