Rip Van Winkle Or "The Works"
by Richard Nelson
Synopsis
“...The play has a smart, engaging premise.
Rip Van Winkle's sleep and waking are used to frame a variety of themes: men and women, parents and children, alcoholism, superstition, and, above all, the battle between industry and agriculture in the social history of the Hudson Valley.
The style is also interesting: a kind of terse Bondian dialogue In short Brechtian scenes which allow the audience to find its own path between two ends of an imaginative leap....”Erika Munk, The Village Voice
