Tim Burton's celebrated 1990 film centres on Edward (Johnny Depp), a gentle artificial man with scissors for hands. Orphaned and unfinished by his creator, Edward longs for connection and is coaxed into joining the town’s pastel suburban community. At first a sensation amidst the uniformity, his uniqueness eventually sparks jealousy and suspicion among the neighbours. Along the way, Edward develops a tender romance with Kim (Winona Ryder).
Join us for this poignant exploration of acceptance, enduring love, and the challenges of being misunderstood as the MSO performs Danny Elfman's ethereal and emotive score live to picture.
