“ERNEST AND THE PALE MOON” by Oliver Lansley
Director: Donna Baldwin-Bradby
Inspired by the works of Edgar Allen Poe and Alfred Hitchcock, Ernest and the Pale Moon is a play written in the style of a noir horror. Ernest is a young man who spends his days watching the beautiful young woman who lives in the apartment block across from him. When he sees her with another man he is thrown into a jealous rage, which eventually leads to murder. However, all is not as it seems and slowly Ernest’s guilt sends him spiraling into madness. This Blackbox musical runs from April 1 through April 10.
