The story of Edward Scissorhands
Edward may look human, but he is no ordinary boy, his scissors for hands attest to that. One day, Edward finds himself left unfinished and alone in a castle on the hill following the death of his eccentric inventor.
When Edward receives an invite from a gentle townswoman to live with her suburban family, he struggles to fit in as his curious appearance raises many questions, but can the community see past Edward’s appearance and discover his innocence within?
Through compassion, empathy and self-discovery, Edward is on a journey to be understood and accepted by others. Although he may be unfinished, he has a heart as big as any human.

Amazing & Magical
Beautiful performance! I am always a little tentative to watch shows based on my favourite films but the changes made were so beautifully done I honestly could have watched for hours longer. The theatre and show are both very access friendly and enabled me to experience everything perfectly
Great performance. Very understandable for the kids (ages 9 and 13). Highly recommended! Enjoyed it very much! Travelers from Greece.
Hugely enjoyable Lots of 50s style dancing and awesome set Wonderful evening altogether

Amazing!!!
Matthew Bourne’s productions are just breathtaking. Edward Scissorhands was no exception. Beautiful dancing, wonderful choreography, incredibly clever and inventive set, and the costumes were exquisite. Three generations attended the show and all loved it. I would love to see it again, it brought a tear to our eyes.
Smiled the whole first Act. Set, lighting, costumes were wonderful. So much was happening on stage would like to see it again as I’m sure I would see something new. Great show!
A lovely ballet incorporating humour and pathos. Great dancing, lovely colourful costumes, fun music.
