1. The Posting
A chilling vision of a dystopian world of female oppression. Offred looks to her future. Read by Buffy Davis.
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.
Margaret Attwood鈥檚 multi award-winning futuristic dystopian novel first published in 1985.
Abridged in ten parts by Katie Campbell.
Read by Buffy Davis.
Producer: Sally Avens.
