About half of Nestroy's works have been revived by the modern German-speaking theatres and many are part and parcel of today's Viennese repertoire. However, few have ever been translated into English. Only one, "Einen Jux will er sich machen", has become well known to English-speaking theatregoers. It has become a classic more than once. It was first adapted as Thornton Wilder's 1954 play "The Matchmaker" (which later became the 1964 musical "Hello, Dolly!" and 1969 film of the same name) and later achieved success as the 1981 play "On the Razzle", which was translated by Stephen Plaice and adapted by Tom Stoppard.
