On the 10th April 1899, a bunch of radishes was tied to the shopfront of
phrenologist and fortune teller Emery Gordon Medor. A few hours later, a
neighboring stallholder would lie dead inside the shop.

Dead and Buried takes you into the lives of the fortunetellers and
performers involved in this strange tragedy, set in the now lost Eastern
Melbourne Market. We find out what happened when our courts first bowed to
the opinions of ‘experts’ on madness. And we investigate the women who
practiced the then illegal trade of turning teacups.
