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 struggles to see past his appearance to the innocence and gentleness within.
After global success with his inspired interpretations of Swan Lake, Cinderella, and the multi-award winning Play Without Words, Matthew Bourne has adapted Edward Scissorhands from the original Tim Burton film, creating a new modern classic.
