The standard of performance is good and the talent is certainly here The gothic style of the piece appealed to us and we are delighted to put the production on across Halloween. We like the narrative style and strong emphasis on story-telling, as well as the creative ensemble work in the piece. What appeals to you about this production, and does it set the tone for the kind of work that company will aim to put up in future?Įrnest and the Pale Moon is a piece written by the playwright Oliver Lansely - who also forms one part of the theatre company Les Enfants Terribles who came to Malta last year to do some student workshops. You have chosen Ernest and the Pale Moon as your inaugural production. We hope that the company will be recognised for excellence and that the work will excite and enthral its audiences. Luke Saydon has composed an original score for this piece for example, and we have Moritz Zavan collaborating with Late Interactive on lights design. Beyond this we want to work in a collaborative way with other talented professionals in the industry. We all bring different skills to the table based on our strengths – from directing, acting, music to marketing and production. What does the gathering of theatre practitioners behind The Shrinking Violets have in common, and what kind of hopes and ambitions –collective or otherwise - do you all have for the company? Thomas Camilleri takes on the titular role in Ernest and the Pale Moon
