The Sound and Music of The Handmaid's Tale

In this exclusive SoundWorks Collection podcast we talk with the sound and music team of The Handmaid's Tale. We chat with Supervising Sound Editor Jane Tattersall, Dialogue Supervisor David McCallum, Re-recording Mixer's Lou Solakofski and Joe Morrow and Composer Adam Taylor.

Now playing on Hulu, based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Atwood, this series is set in Gilead, a totalitarian society in what used to be part of the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state, and is faced with environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate. In a desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world, the few remaining fertile women are forced into sexual servitude. One of these women, Offred, is determined to survive the terrifying world she lives in, and find the daughter that was taken from her.
