Press Release

Edinburgh Press Night: Wednesday 8 February at 7.30pm

Matthew Bourne and New Adventures are back with their latest creation:
a magical new adaption of the classic Tim Burton motion picture, Edward
Scissorhands.

A treat for all the family, 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 directs and choreographs this new production, with design
by long-term collaborator Lez Brotherston. It features a company of 30
dancers, with Sam Archer and Richard Winsor sharing the title role.
Original music is by Terry Davies who has also adapted musical themes
from the motion picture composed by Danny Elfman.

Matthew has had global success with his inspired interpretations of
Swan Lake, Nutcracker!, Highland Fling and the multi-award winning
Play Without Words. A five time Olivier award winner, he is also
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).
