Der Furchtsame ("The Fear") is a German comedy in three acts by the Austrian playwright Philipp Hafner (1735 -1764)[1], first published in 1774.

Translations and adaptations

Adapted as a German musical comedy ("Ein Komisches Singspiel In Zwei Aufzügen") with the title Das Neue Sonntagskind (lit: "The new Sunday's Child") by Wenzel Müller (1767–1835)[2], with libretto by Joachim Perinet (1763-1816)[3], and published in Leipzig by A. Geers, 1794.

The original three act play (or the two act musical?) was apparently translated into Dutch as De Vreesachtige uit Vooroordeel, wegens zyne Geboorte op Zondag ("The frightening out of prejudice, because of birth on a Sunday") by Gosenwijn Christiaan de Greuve, and published in 1799/1800.

Translated once more into Dutch, and adapted as a musical, under the title De Nachtmerrie ("The mightmare") or De Nachtmerrie, of De Vampyr ("The mightmare, or the vampire") by G. Vreedenberg (1829/1840)[4]
