Offred: The Handmaid's Tale - Banff Centre

In the far future, the year 2195, a box containing a number of audio cassettes from the beginning of the 21st Century suddenly appear, and the tapes are subsequently played at an International Historical Convention in Cambridge, England.

The tapes contain the secret diary of an anonymous woman who allegedly escaped from her position as involuntary, so-called Handmaid, at a private home in the theocratic dictatorship of the republic Gilead, the former USA, around A.D. 2006.

We don’t know the Handmaid’s real name - only her given name of service: Offred.
