Contemporary Dystopia: The Return of Apocalyptic Thinking

In the second of three Saturday afternoon talks at Mill Hill Chapel asking ‘What Happened to the Future?’, we welcome back writer Tim Black to discuss why the apocalyptic exerts such a powerful pull on the modern imagination.

A Crosscut Saw gig is a hoodoo rollercoaster of pure primeval power. No hype, no image, no posturing, no deception, just true alchemy. No two performances are ever the same, even the musicians themselves don’t know what potent brew will be cooked up.
