“Magical, witty… Scissorhands is a cut above.” - London Evening Standard


Matthew Bourne and New Adventures (Swan Lake) 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. This musical without words is a must-see event you won't want to miss! "Just bring your ears and eyes and marvel at the inventions of Mr. Bourne's theatrical imagination" - New York Times.
