Inspired by Tim Burton’s much-loved movie and featuring hauntingly beautiful music from Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, Matthew Bourne and his New Adventures Company are back with their witty, stirring story of an incomplete boy left all alone in strange new surroundings.

 

Up in a dilapidated castle on a high hill lives Edward, a lonely boy created by an eccentric inventor. When his father/creator dies, Edward is left alone and incomplete with scissors for his hands until a kind-hearted woman from the nearby town invites him into her family home.

 

Can Edward find his place in the well-meaning community which struggles to see past his curious appearance to the innocence and gentleness within? Join Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures Company to find out more.

 

Bourne founded New Adventures all the way back in 1986 and, ever since, the iconic dance-theatre company have delighted, inspired and nurtured audiences of all ages and backgrounds. 

 

Throughout their history, New Adventures have received numerous international and Olivier Award nominations and six wins for acclaimed productions such as Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, The Red Shoes, Nutcracker! and many more besides.
