ERNEST AND THE PALE MOON

Based on a short story by  Oliver Lansley and devised by the company. 

Inspired by the worlds of Edgar Allan Poe and Alfred Hitchcock, ERNEST AND THE PALE MOON is a spine chilling tale of voyeurism, obsession and murder. 

Ernest Hemel spends his days silently watching the pale young woman in the apartment block opposite. Upon seeing her with another man, he is thrown into a jealous rage and driven to murder. Slowly, Ernest's guilt sends him on a spiralling descent into madness. 

Co-produced with Les Enfants Terribles, the show was originally created for the Edinburgh Fringe, but has subsequently enjoyed two UK tours.
