WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Matthew Bourne and New Adventures are back with 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. 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.
"Just bring your ears and eyes and marvel at the inventions of Mr. Bourne's theatrical imagination" - New York Times
"Magical, witty... Scissorhands is a cut above." - London Evening Standard
There is an additional performance on Sunday, November 26 at 7:30pm, and there is no Thanksgiving show (Thursday, November 23).
