Elisabeth Moss: ”Jag önskar att Handmaid’s tale var som Game of thrones”
Elisabeth Moss, som spelar huvudrollen i ”Handmaid’s tale”, säger i en intervju med The Independent att hon är hedrad över att spela en roll som blivit en symbol för motstånd under ”väldigt ovanliga omständigheter”.
Bland annat har de röda kapporna som tjänarinnorna bär i serien använts vid demonstrationer för aborträtt och protesterna mot den våldtäktsanklagade Brett Kavanaugh som förra året utsågs till domare i USA:s högsta domstol.
– Jag önskar att serien var fantasy. Jag önskar att det var som ”Game of thrones”, du vet? Jag önskar att det var typ: ”Det här är galet!”. Men tyvärr är det inte så.
