This timeless story of an incomplete boy navigating a strange new world resonates now more than ever. As Matthew Bourne aptly puts it, “Never has the story of Edward Scissorhands been more timely.”

In an era where uniqueness and identity are both celebrated and reviled, this production explores themes of acceptance and compassion in a way that is as relevant today as it was when Caroline Thompson penned the screenplay 33 years ago.

Don’t miss your chance to witness the magic of Edward Scissorhands brought to life on stage at Liverpool Empire.

The show will play at Liverpool Empire from Tuesday 20 – Saturday 24 February, with tickets available from £13.
