About the author

Ferdinand Raimund (born Ferdinand Jakob Raimann) was an Austrian comic actor and dramatist. After touring throughout the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he became first a permanent member of the Leopoldstädter Theater and then its director.

Alongside Johann Nestroy, Raimund was one of the two most notable dramatists of the fanciful, farcial style, based around familiar folk characters, known as Alt-Wiener Volkstheater. His plays are fairy-tale comedies set in an ordered world which allows them to express aspirations to a higher realm of love and freedom.

Raimund's comedies are still frequently performed in Austria today.
