The Craftsmen's Festival is a musical play by the actor and playwright Louis Angely . It is a one-act play with a total of 18 appearances and belongs to the vaudeville genre . In 1829 it celebrated its premiere on the stage of the Königsstadt Theater . Angely thus achieved one of his greatest successes. The comedy is mainly based on the different German dialects and their peculiarities.
Shortly afterwards, Philipp Thielmann presented a “side piece” to this work with The Master’s Birthday and Name Day or the Feast of the Journeyman (1830). A version of the Festival of Craftsmen with new musical numbers by Wilhelm Reuling had over a hundred performances in Vienna in the 1830s . In 1929 Paul Quensel based his piece Blauer Montag (music by Franz Schubert ) also on the one-act play.
