“lesson play”

Lehrstück, a form of drama that is specifically didactic in purpose and that is meant to be performed outside the orthodox theatre. Such plays were associated particularly with the epic theatre of the German dramatist Bertolt Brecht. In Brecht’s Lehrstücke (published posthumously in 1966) the didactic element was political and was based on his studies of Karl Marx.
