Do you enjoy the macabre chill of Wilkie Collins’ gothic murder mysteries?

For the last couple of years, Les Enfants Terribles Theatre Company have been one of the must-see companies at the E4 Udderbelly (that big upside-down purple inflatable cow) at the Edinburgh Festival and at the new Udderbelly Festival on London’s South Bank. Their 2008 children’s show The Terrible Infants, a Roald Dahl and Tim Burton-esque collection of stories, was hugely acclaimed and won a number of awards, including The Stage Critics Choice.

They bring their current show, Ernest and the Pale Moon, to Norwich Playhouse on Saturday 27 March at 6pm and 8.30pm. This deliciously dark show is a is a noir horror about a man who spends his days watching the beautiful young woman who lives opposite him. Upon seeing her with another man he is thrown into rage and driven to murder. Slowly Ernest is on a spiralling descent into madness. The piece contains live music, inventive design and physical storytelling to provide a thrilling and terrifying experience.
