Sleepy Hollow • TYA • World Tales

(based on the story by Washington Irving) Adapted by Genevieve Aichele

This is a simple but imaginative story-theatre telling of the famous tale of a headless ghost on horseback who terrorizes a small town of 200 years ago.Lanky schoolmaster Ichabod Crane vies for the hand and property of the blooming Katrina Van Tassel, much to his students’ amusement. Ichabod’s rival in love is Tarrytown’s favorite son, Brom Bones. Following a merry quilting frolic and dance party, Ichabod rides home through the haunted Sleepy Hollow and encounters the legendary Headless Horsemen – or is it really Brom Bones in disguise? Adapted from Washington Irving’s beloved story, the script incorporates both Irving’s original clever language and modern flourishes to delight younger audiences.
