Chortle award-winning comic and aspiring historian Caitriona Dowden spends most of her time worrying about the future and studying our medieval past – can she learn to live in the moment? She invites you to join her on a journey through time, from Biblical prophecy to post-apocalyptic landscapes, for anyone who's ever asked ‘why have so many societies through history predicted the end times?’ or ‘would I have survived the 1518 Dancing Plague?’.
“Defiantly arcane… a small miracle?” – Chortle
