The Testaments, Margaret Atwood’s sequel to A Handmaid’s Tale, is currently enthralling/frightening viewers on Disney+, returning to the oppressive regime of Gilead to show a group of teenage daughters of commanders at an elite “wife school”. As they plot rebellion, Chase Infiniti’s Agnes falls for Garth, a complex young regime figure played by new English talent Brad Alexander.
“Garth is interesting because he’s living in two worlds,” says Alexander. “Ostensibly he’s with Gilead, he has a commander family, but he has allegiance elsewhere, to this uprising… This is a world in which looking at someone the wrong way can get you strung up. You’re constantly looking over your shoulder.”
