The Legend of Sleepy Hollow | LYTE Queechy Middle Company

LYTE presents The Legend of Sleepy Hollow - Queechy Middle Company.

Presented by Launceston Youth Theatre Ensemble’s Queechy Middle Company, this performance features actors aged 11-15 years.

America’s first great ghost story, Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow follows the quirky and superstitious antics of schoolmaster Ichabod Crane, who is haunted by the dreaded Headless Horseman. This imaginative adaptation by Hans and Peter Bloedel stays true to the world that Irving created in this American gothic tale, but adds a lyrical quality that further enhances the humour, the magic, and the terror.

Suitable for children 10 years and up, this performance contains supernatural themes.
