Overview
Rip Van Winkle: Folk Opera In Three Acts (1919) is a play written by Percy MacKaye. The play tells the story of Rip Van Winkle, a lazy man who lives in a small village in the Catskill Mountains. One day, Rip goes on a hunting trip and falls asleep under a tree. When he wakes up, he finds that twenty years have passed and everything around him has changed. The play explores themes of time, change, and the importance of living in the present moment. It features music and lyrics by Reginald De Koven and a libretto by MacKaye. The play was first performed in 1919 and has since become a classic of American theater. It is a unique blend of folk music and opera that captures the spirit of early 20th century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
