Biography

After completing his studies in Breslau and Halle, Pabst first worked as a tutor, before moving in 1855 to the Dresden Royal Court Theatre (from 1860 onwards with the rank of court advisor), where he was active until 1881 as a playwright and director. He wrote poems, dramas and one opera; however, his work remained mostly unpublished.

Pabst created a stage adaptation of As You Like It for the Dresden celebrations of Shakespeare’s 300^th birthday. He also wrote an epilog to this play, which was published separately. Both the epilog and his stage adaptation were performed at the Dresden Royal Court Theatre in 1864.
