A problem play is like when you learn about a problem or difficulty that people have in a story or play. The story might have things that are hard to understand or make you feel confused, sad or upset. The purpose of a problem play is to make people think about important issues and to help them see different points of view. It's like a way of telling a story to teach important lessons about things like love, justice, and fairness. Some people might not like problem plays because they can be uncomfortable to watch or make you think about things you might not want to think about. But they are still important to watch because they can help us understand and appreciate the world around us.
