New Adventures, Martin McCallum and Marc Platt are delighted to bring EDWARD
SCISSORHANDS, devised, directed and choreographed by Matthew Bourne, back to the Alhambra
Theatre, Bradford from Tuesday 9 to Saturday 13 April
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. Following sell out performances in
America, Australia, Korea, Japan and Europe, it had its first major revival in 2014 and now returns to
UK theatres for the first time in 9 years.
Based on the classic Tim Burton movie and featuring the hauntingly beautiful music of Danny Elfman
and Terry Davies, Bourne and his company, New Adventures 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?
