Friedrich Ludwig Schröder (1744 -1816) was a German actor, manager, and dramatist born to legendary figures of the German stage. Schröder became an actor appearing in 1764 with his stepfather's company in Hamburg [Ackermann Company], playing comedy and later tragedy, for which he became famous, with roles including Hamlet and King Lear. After Ackermann's death he managed the theatre, and began to write plays, largely adaptations from the English, such as this one, first published in Leipzig in 1790. Schröder's Dramatische Werke were published in four volumes (Berlin, 1831). OCLC locates six copies. Stamp of the "Privat theater zu Sct Niklas (active 1816-1880).
