Ten years after the American Revolutionary War, in a country still haunted by the violence that created it, Ichabod Crane, a country school master, finds himself dispatched to a remote village North of the Hudson River: Sleepy Hollow. Here he tries to bring the inhabitants of this deeply superstitious hamlet into the 18th century. But secrets run deep, and not all is as it appears in this place still haunted by its past. Brought to wildly imaginative life by the twisted genius of The Old Trout Puppet Workshop, this world premiere adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow breathes exciting new life into the enduring and haunting tale of the Headless Horseman.
