About
As darkness falls, join acclaimed writer, performer and State Library Victoria fellow Lawrence Leung in the majestic Ian Potter Queen’s Hall for a candlelit séance inspired by Melbourne’s uncanny past. In the late 1800s, otherwise respectable Victorians gathered in darkened rooms to 'communicate with spirits'. Scientists investigated ghosts. A future prime minister attended Spiritualist meetings. Celebrity mediums filled theatres with the promise of answers and wonder.
