Matthew Bourne and New Adventures: Edward Scissorhands March 21, 2007

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.

"Not a word is spoken, but the story of the strangely endearing misfit…is as clear, offbeat and enchanting onstage as in the beloved Tim Burton film on which it’s based."—SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

"...[Matthew] Bourne has fashioned a tender, dark, and funny dance play about the ultimate outcast. 4 stars!"—THE TIMES (UK)

"An unforgettable production that will melt the steeliest of hearts, and strike a chord with anyone who ever felt just that little bit different. Pure perfection."—EVENING TIMES (GLASGOW)

* DEVISED, DIRECTED, AND CHOREOGRAPHED BY MATTHEW BOURNE
* NEW MUSIC AND ARRANGEMENTS BY TERRY DAVIES
* BASED ON THE THEMES FROM THE ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SCORE COMPOSED BY DANNY ELFMAN
