A German dramatist and actor; born in Berlin, Nov. 30, 1746; died at Hanover, May 20, 1796. While in the diplomatic service, he became intimate in a literary circle which included Lessing; and successively wrote in a few days each "The Fire of Passion", a comedy, and "Wilhelmine von Blondheim", a tragedy, which were extremely successful. He turned actor, rose to high reputation, and produced much-admired comedies.
