Die Le­gen­de von Sleepy Hollow

In the organizer's words:

Play by Philipp Löhle based on a story by Washington Irving

World premiere

Tarrytown, New York State, 1820: In a small, sleepy valley of the Hudson River, eerie things are said to happen at night: voices, apparitions, ghosts and the worst: the ghost of a Hessian mercenary beheaded during the War of Independence, a headless horseman! Ichabod Crane, a schoolmaster newly transferred to the area, doesn't believe in the supernatural, but in science and reason and tries to get to the bottom of the legend ...

In his new play for the Staatstheater, in-house author Philipp Löhle approaches Washington Irving's short story, which is considered one of the most famous in US literature. Comedy specialist Christian Brey builds a horrific - and very funny - horror tableau in his seventh work in Nuremberg.
