Drayman Henschel (German: Fuhrmann Henschel), also known as Carter Henschel, is an 1898 five-act naturalistic play by the German playwright Gerhart Hauptmann.[1] Unlike his 1892 play The Weavers, Hauptmann focuses on the story's psychological rather than social dimensions.[2] As with his 1902 play Rose Bernd, the play charts the demise of an ordinary man who falls victim to circumstances beyond his control.[3] As with many of Hauptmann's dramas, it ends with the main character's suicide.[4]
