Nestroy's play, based on John Oxenford's 1835 one-act English farce A Day Well Spent (1835), which he extended into a full-length piece in 1842.

Translations and adaptations

Nestroy's play was the direct source for a number of theatrical works and films over the years, including The Merchant of Yonkers (Wilder, 1938), The Matchmaker (Wilder, 1955), Hello Dolly! (Wilder, Herman and Stewart, 1964) and On the Razzle (Stoppard, 1981).

Performance history in South Africa
