A German dramatic farce in one act by August von Kotzebue (1761 – 1819),

The original text

Originally apparently written by Von Kotzebue as a libretto for an opera by this name, with music by Ludwig Wilhelm Tepper von Ferguson, and produced by Von Kotzebue in the German Theatre in St Petersburg in 1801 (to no great success).

Possibly reworked as a one-act farce, published in German in Berlin 1807, first performed in this form in the Königliches Schauspielhaus, Berlin in 1806.

Translations and adaptations

Translated into Dutch as Uilenspiegel by Jan Steven van Esveldt Holtrop, and published by J.S. van Esveldt Holtrop, Amsterdam, 1812.
