Edward Scissorhands

New Adventures magical production of Edward Scissorhands is back at Sadlers Wells. So, this Christmas why not grab tickets to one of London’s most enchanting ballets.

Mathew Bourne’s delightful adaptation of the classic Tim Burton motion picture 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.

It is Bourne’s witty choreography, timed with an ability to tell a story and play the smaller moments that really adds to the magic of this production.”

Mathew Bourne undoubtedly has the skills when it comes to reinventing well known material. However, it is Bourne’s witty choreography, timed with an ability to tell a story and play the smaller moments that really adds to the magic of this production. Add that to a stunning set by Lez Brotherston and a snowfalling curtain call and you really have the perfect Christmas ballet. Grab your tickets while you can!
