Being a narrative poem, the actors have to narrate their feelings to the audience t hroughout the whole play. The script does have its challenges,'' Denise tells me. Initially, The Shrinking Violets were to stage a musical, but when they saw this performance in Edinburgh last year they immediately realised that 'Ernest and the Pale Moon' was the quirky, edgy production they really wanted to do and agreed upon that immediately! The fact that this will be performed during Halloween appears to be just a coincidence, really. Being quite uneasy in the vicinity of anything horror-related, my first question for Denise is the expected '' Why horror?'' Denise enthusiastically explained that this play is a homage to those older edgy, gothic-style horror, almost melodramatic but not quite. I was also lucky enough to interview Denise Mulholland, director to this superb, gothic-style horror script by Oliver Lansley. I have just been with The Shrinking Violets - a new theatre collective led by Maria Buckle, Jo Caruana, Chiara Hyzler, Cathy Lawlor and Denise Mulholland - who shall be staging ' Ernest and the Pale Moon’ in the coming weeks. Starring Thomas Camilleri, Jo Caruana, Chris Galea and Chiara Hyzler. Ernest and the Pale Moon directed by Denise Mulholland It has to do with the energy levels down in that place where the talented guys were rehearsing and going over their lines, it has to do with their excessive passion. But this time I know I won't manage to hold it inside I just have to rush home and scribble something. Usually when I cover events, it takes some two days after the actual event before I sit down and jot down what would have taken place. I exit the rehearsals and know I have to rush home to write about this ASAP.
