About

A new take on one of the spookiest stories ever written, this new musical adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving re-imagines the life of Ichabod Crane and the residents of the village of Sleepy Hollow as a parable on the keeping of secrets and how outsiders are - or aren’t welcomed. Featuring some spine-tingling puppetry and a new score by the award- winning creators behind Two Planks’ productions of Animal Farm and Frankenstein, The Haunting of Sleepy Hollow opens on June 28th and closes on Aug 16th , 2025.
