Rip van Winkle is the name of a mythical character in a number of stories, plays, films, and so on, as well as the title of various stage and film versions of the of the original tale about the character.

Also found written as Rip Van Winkle or Rip in French.

The original tale

"Rip Van Winkle" is the title of a short story by the American author Washington Irving (1783-1859). It tells the story of Dutch-American villager in colonial America who falls asleep in the Catskill Mountains and wakes up 20 years later, having missed the American Revolution.

While there are a number of similar sotries in the canon of Europaean folklore, myth and literature, Irving's tale is widely thought to have been partly based on Johann Karl Christoph Nachtigal's German folktale "Peter Klaus[1]", set in a German village, in which a goatherd goes looking for a lost goat and finds some men drinking in the woods. Having had something to drink with them, he falls asleep and wakes back up after twenty years.

Irving's version was first published as one of the stories in the first volume of Irving's book The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent on June 23, 1819, published by Cornelius S. Van Winkle (Baltimore, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia).

The story of Rip has been translated and adapted in numerous ways since.

Stage versions of the tale

International versions

The first dramatized version of the tale was performed on 26 May, 1828, on the Albany stage by Thomas Flynn, the adaptation by an unnamed local writer. In October of 1829 a new version called Rip van Winkle, or The Demons of the Catskill Mountains! by a British actor, John Kerr, was produced at the Tottenham Street Theatre in London as well as the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia.

In 1850, an adaptation of the Kerr version was done by Charles Burke with the title Rip van Winkle, a Legend of the Catskill Mountains (published by Samuel French as no of their "Standard Drama". The play was performed in Philadelphia and elsewhere, featuring American actor Joseph Jefferson, Burkes brother-in-law.

In 1865 Joseph Jefferson (1829-1905), who had performed various dramatizations of the character on the 19th-century stage, asked Dion Boucicault (1820-1890) to write a new stage adaptation based on the earlier versions by Kerr and Burke. Called Rip Van Winkle, or The Sleep of Twenty Years it was a three-act version (later expanded to four acts by Jefferson), which opened at the Adelphi Theatre in London on 4 September, 1865 and on Broadway in 1866. The text was published by Dodd, Mead and Company in 1895 as Rip van Winkle as played by Joseph Jefferson, with a subtitle stating: now for the first time published, with illustrations[2]. No accreditation is given on the title page for the contributions of Irving, Boucicault, Kerr or Burke.

The English version was first performed at the Royal Comedy Theatre in London on October 14, 1882, adapted for performance by Dion Boucicault.
