New England, 1820: The isolated town of Sleepy Hollow is disrupted
by the arrival of a new schoolteacher, Ichabod Crane, who
challenges the town's superstitions with science, reason and fact.
The locals instantly mistrust him; but Katrina van Fleet, heiress
to Sleepy Hollow's rich land is charmed by his intellect and
passion. But Ichabod is mistaken: as behind each one of the
villagers' tales lies a dark and bloody truth. As the spirits of
the Hollow Wood grow restless, and as the hooves of the Headless
Horseman thunder ever nearer, Katrina is forced to make a choice
that will change the fate of Sleepy Hollow forever. Based on
Washington Irving's infamous short story, The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow is a powerful and atmospheric musical by Helen Watts and
Eamonn O'Dwyer. It is a story of community; a story of faith, of
blood and belief; a story that asks the simple question: what
happens when good people make bad choices?
"As with the commander of an army, so is it with the mistress of a
house". Isabella Beeton was only twenty three years old when she
penned these words in Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management,
first published in 1861. She could not have predicted how they
would resonate with the women of England, nor could she have
imagined how her name would become synonymous with culinary
expertise and domestic bliss for generations to come. Mrs Beeton
Says... is a charming and vibrant musical examining the life and
legacy of this extraordinary woman: a spirited journalist, a
tireless entrepreneur, and if not a perfect homemaker, then
certainly a queen of organization. In a world where a woman could
not vote, own a house, nor even ride a bicycle, Mrs Beeton's book
gave the women of England something they desperately wanted: a bit
of control.
