"Visually, this is a wonderful piece of storytelling"
Inspired by the likes of Edgar Allan Poe and Alfred Hitchcock, ‘Ernest and the Pale Moon’ is a spinechilling tale of obsession and murder based upon a short story by Oliver Lansley about a man who spends his days watching the beautiful young woman who lives in the apartment block opposite.
Upon seeing her with another man he is thrown into a jealous rage and driven to murder, though all is not what it may at first seem and slowly Ernest’s guilt sends him on a spiralling descent into madness.
The show is co-produced with Pins and Needles Productions.
Originally directed by Emma Earle
Redirected by James Seager
Ernest and the Pale Moon is available for licensing to schools and is perfect for a smaller cast looking to explore creative lighting design and a bone-chilling narrative.
