Gilead

A bloody war without rules spared no one and took men by thousands. Every woman lost someone - father, brother, lover. They learned to live without them, took over their roles. 

Because a war does not ask. 

The few who returned from the war have never recovered. Life does not wait though, the world recovered, the country without men in leadership roles began to flourish again. The government now faces an important task: to ensure that such a war is never repeated. 

Gilead (CZ), by Dagmar Wiesnerova and Martina Drabinova, is a game inspired by the book The Handmaid’s Tale. 

The players will explore and experience the historical period of the Republic of Gilead as participants of a conference organized by the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes.

The players will play several characters in the game, some of which may be of a different gender than they identify as.
