Description

Newspaper advert and review for dance production of Edward Scissorhands from New Adventures, led by director and choreographer Matthew Bourne.

What's the story?

With inspirational director and choreographer Matthew Bourne at the helm, New Adventures has been telling stories and creating iconic and ground-breaking dance theatre since 1986. As a regular visitor to the Theatre Royal, the company always draws sell-out audiences.
As stated on their website, their company values indicate their passion to engage audiences at theatres, such as the Theatre Royal:
‘Our audiences are why we do what we do. Entertaining and engaging audiences is our passion. We proudly tour to more venues and give more performances each year than any other dance company in the UK. We strive to be widely accessible and welcoming to both our loyal and new audiences.’
Edward Scissorhands premiered in 2005 and is based on Tim Burton’s classic 1990 film, with music by Danny Elfman and Terry Davies, specially recorded for New Adventures.
This image is an advert placed in the Nottingham Post one week prior to the show to sell the final few tickets.
The opening night review from the Newark Advertiser describes the piece as “a classic hit”.
