  • “Does Prozac help artists be creative?”

    More than 40 million people globally take an SSRI antidepressant, among them many writers and musicians. But do they hamper the creative process, extinguishing the spark that produces great art, or do they enhance artistic endeavour?

    Twenty-five years after pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly unleashed Prozac on the red-braced 80s, SSRIs are still the world's most popular antidepressants. They are swallowed by more than 40 million people, from Beijing to Beirut, knitting a web of happiness from New York to New Caledonia. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, of which Prozac is the best known, are the defining drug of the modern age, the crutch of choice for the worried well. In the US, where one in 10 takes antidepressants, you can buy beef-flavoured Prozac for your dog, trademarked Reconcile.

  • “Posh nosh replaces dodgy festival food in 2013”

    Nasty noodles are now a thing of the past, as big-name chefs take to event catering with style

    Back in the 90s, a typical festival meal meant a toss-up between survival and hours spent hovering above the long-drop toilets. Those days are mercifully distant – decent, locally sourced food is now intrinsic to the festival experience. So, what's the next logical step? If festivals can be crucibles for cutting-edge music, art and comedy, why not cutting-edge food, too?

    Grand theatre, Leeds; Coliseum, London

    Not short on action, the Old Testament book of Joshua charts the entry of the Israelites into the Promised Land, the razing of Jericho, several massacres and the suspension of time while sun and moon stand motionless so the enemy can be avenged in daylight. (Apparently Nasa, failing to confirm an appropriately timed late bronze age eclipse, has no category to account for divine intervention.)
