“Matthew Bourne tells a story with extraordinary zest and originality. Nobody does it better” – Los Angeles Times
“Magical, witty… Scissorhands is a cut above” – London Evening Standard
Matthew Bourne (Swan Lake)and New Adventures are back with their latest creation – a magical new adaptation of the classic Tim Burton motion picture Edward Scissorhands. A treat for the whole family, this touching and witty gothic fairytale tells the story of a boy created by an eccentric inventor who dies leaving him alone and unfinished. Left with only scissors for hands, Edward must find his place in a strange new suburban world where the well-meaning community around him struggles to see past his appearance to the innocence and gentleness within. Direct from a successful tour of the UK and a smashing London premiere, Matthew Bourne’s latest theatrical invention will arrive in North America in November 2006.
