A modern telling of Washington Irving's classic tale of Rip Van Winkle, a man who fell asleep for twenty years. Or did he? Based on the folk tales of Fairy lore brought to America by Irish immigrants, Irving's original story failed to tell the whole tale. Today we might refer to Rip's disappearance as an 'alien abduction' to an inter-dimensional land where exists not only mythological creatures such as fairies, elves and trolls but also Pop Culture characters such as Mods, Rockers, Punks and Metalheads. A satire on the modern phenomenon of Pop Culture becoming THE culture of the 21st Century. "Jonathan Swift for the 21st Century" Rocknrollrehab.com.
