Drayman Henschel (German: Führmann Henschell) also known as Carter Henschel is an 1898 five-act naturalistic play by the German playwright Gerhart Hauptmann. Unlike his 1892 play The Weavers Hauptmann focuses on the story’s psychological rather than social dimensions. As with his 1902 play Rose Bernd the play charts the demise of an ordinary person who falls victim to circumstances beyond his or her control. As with many of Hauptmann’s dramas it ends with its main character’s suicide.
