The Show Matthew Bourne's magical dance production of Edward Scissorhands has carved a place in the hearts of audiences world-wide since its premiere in 2005.
Based on the classic Tim Burton movie and featuring the hauntingly beautiful music of Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, Bourne and his New Adventures Company return to this witty, bittersweet story of an incomplete boy left alone in a strange new world.
In a castle high on a hill lives Edward; a boy created by an eccentric inventor.
When his creator dies he is left alone and unfinished with only scissors for hands until a kindly townswoman invites him to live with her suburban family.
Can Edward find his place in the well-meaning community which struggles to see past his curious appearance to the innocence and gentleness within?Presented by New Adventures, Martin McCallum and Marc PlattDevised, directed and choreographed by Matthew BourneNew music and arrangements by Terry DaviesBased on themes from the original motion picture score composed by Danny ElfmanBased on the original motion picture by arrangement with 20th Century StudiosOriginal story and motion picture directed by Tim BurtonOriginal screenplay, story and co-adaptation by Caroline ThompsonDesigned by Lez BrotherstonLighting designed by Howard HarrisonSound designed by Paul GroothuisBy Special Arrangement with Buena Vista Theatricals__Access Performances__Audio Described Performance - Saturday 13 January at 2:30pm Touch Tour - Saturday 13 January at 2:30pm
