| Matthew Bourne's Edward Scissorhands |

In 1990, film director Tim Burton created a character for Johnny Depp
that touched the hearts of millions. Now, through the magic of Matthew
Bourne, Edward Scissorhands is back to make your spirits soar.
This enchanting, uplifting, record-breaking stage adaptation of the
classic motion picture swept UK and US audiences off their feet,
turning a film favourite into a theatrical triumph.
Following in the footsteps of his smash-hit Swan Lake, multi-award
winning director/choreographer Matthew Bourne uses music, movement and
stage magic to tell the story of a boy left alone and unfinished by the
eccentric inventor who created him.
Transforming tired gardens into triumphs of topiary, treating desperate
housewives to haircuts with a difference, and shaping spectacular ice
sculptures out of snowstorms, Edward quickly becomes the local hero.
But not everyone can see past the scars and scissors to see the beauty
and innocence within…
A magical fairytale. A moving love story. A major stage spectacular for the whole family.
