Edward Scissorhands, review: Matthew Bourne can't catch Tim Burton's magic - the result is a thin, mawkish tale
Matthew Bourne made his name putting a twist on classic tales, most famously in his Swan Lake with male swans. In Edward Scissorhands, he makes a devoted attempt to recreate Tim Burton's fairytale movie, without a revisionist edge in sight. Though the 2005 production has been tweaked for this revival, it remains a thin, mawkish tale.
