We were thrilled to get tickets to a screening of Margaret Atwood talking about her new novel ‘The Testaments’ and sequel to ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. We took a group of English Literature A-Level students to watch the interview with Margaret Atwood.

The live screening also included readings from the novel by Ann Dowd, who plays Aunt Lydia in the television series and Lily James. The students were absolutely inspired by Atwood and learnt an incredible amount about the context of both novels to inform their study of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ this term.
