[Jessica C · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a short cute play perfect for high school or community theater productions to introduce the story of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow as Washington Irivng wrote it. It's very accurate to the short story, and examines a lot of the other lore and local legends surrounding the area. Small cast that has the potential to be larger. I liked the foreshadowing by associating hoofbeats with Brom Bones.
