Edward Scissorhands
April 25 - May 13, 2007
Matthew Bourne and New Adventures present their latest creation – 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 who dies leaving him alone and unfinished. Left 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 strange appearance to the innocence and gentleness within. London's theatrical dance sensation, Edward Scissorhands is a must-see event.
After global success with his inspired interpretations of Swan Lake, Nutcracker! Highland Fling and the multi-award-winning Play Without Words, Matthew Bourne has recently choreographed the hit musical, Mary Poppins, currently performing on Broadway. A five-time Olivier award-winner, he is also the creator of the world’s longest-running ballet production and is the only British director to have won the Tony Award for Best Director and Best Choreographer of a Musical (1999 for Swan Lake).
Just bring your eyes and ears and marvel at the inventions of Mr. Bourne's theatrical imagination."
