Matthew Bourne and New Adventures are back with their magical adaptation of the classic Tim Burton motion picture Edward Scissorhands.  This touching and witty gothic fairytale returns to Sadler’s Wells for a limited Christmas season after a sell-out world tour.

A treat for all the family, Edward Scissorhands is 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 struggle to see past his strange appearance to the innocence and gentleness within.

"A fantastic family show! Full of brilliant comic detail and engaging life"
DAILY TELEGRAPH

Other works by New Adventures include Swan Lake, Nutcracker! Highland Fling and the multi-award winning Play Without Words. A five time Olivier award winner, Matthew Bourne has also choreographed the hit musical Mary Poppins, is 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).
