Non-Aristotelian drama or the ‘epic form’ of the drama is a kind of play whose dramaturgical structure departs from the features of classical tragedy in favour of the features of the epic as defined in each case by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle in his Poetics (c.335 BCE).The German modernist theatre practitioner Bertolt Brecht coined the term ‘non-Aristotelian drama’ to describe the dramaturgical dimensions of his own work beginning in 1930 with a series of notes and essays entitled On a non-aristotelian drama.
