MATTHEW Bourne’s dance production of Edward Scissorhands has carved a place in the hearts of audiences world-wide since its premiere nearly 20 years ago, and will show at The Liverpool Empire from Tuesday 20 – Saturday 24 February.
The production comes to Liverpool of following sell-out performances in America, Australia, Korea, Japan and Europe and returns to UK theatres for the first time in a decade.
Matthew Bourne said: “Never has the story of Edward Scissorhands been more timely. In an era when uniqueness and identity is both celebrated and reviled, its story of how we treat anyone who appears to be different in our communities is as poignant and relevant as when Caroline Thompson wrote the screenplay for Tim Burton’s legendary movie fable 33 years ago.”
Based on the classic Tim Burton movie and featuring the hauntingly beautiful music of Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, Bourne and his company, New Adventures, return to this witty, bittersweet story of an incomplete boy left alone in a strange new world.
