In a castle high on a hill lives a boy, who was created by an eccentric inventor and left alone and unfinished with only scissors for hands when the man died. Then a kindly woman invites him to live with her suburban family and Edward tries to find his place in a well-meaning community that struggles to see past his curious appearance. Contemporary dance adaptation of Tim Burton's 1990 film by the New Adventures theatre company, featuring the music of Danny Elfman and Terry Davies
