New Adventures’ magical production of Edward Scissorhands is back at Sadler’s Wells after a phenomenally successful world tour that has included sell-out performances in New York, LA, San Francisco, Syndey, Melbourne and Paris.

Matthew Bourne’s adaptation of the classic Tim Burton motion picture Edward Scissorhands is a treat for all the family. Featuring the beautiful and unmistakable theme music by Danny Elfman, this touching and witty gothic fairytale tells the story of a boy created by a lonely inventor who dies leaving him alone and unfinished. Left with only scissors for hands, Edward struggles to 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.

Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures is one of the country’s most popular dance companies. Previous productions include Nutcracker!, an all-male version of Swan Lake, Car Man and Highland Fling. Bourne also co-choreographed the musical Mary Poppins.
