Edinburgh Festival Review – Ernest and the Pale Moon
A near-perfect Hitchcock interpretation comes to the Fringe stage…
Ernest sits at his window, in the dark, watching over the apartment block across the street. The pale light of a full moon is overhead. A blonde-haired woman looks out of her window beyond her curtains, as dones a man still in pain from a war injury. What seems like a few random citizens just enjoying the air of the night turns into a brilliantly-presented story with a very very dark ending. There’s even a last minute twist!
The theatre company does such a brilliant job on-stage antics for visual and audio affects that you really feel like you’re there in that dark section of the city, watching the drama unfold….fantastic, heart-throbbing action, you’ll never know what’s around the next corner!
5 stars for innovative use of the stage for horror. Playing at the Pleasance, 14:20. £8, Book Now.
