The Piano Lesson May 16, 2009

Master playwright August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play is the 1930s entry in his monumental 20th Century play cycle. A rich family history with origins in slavery is carved into the wood of the piano that could be Boy Willie's ticket to self-sufficiency or Berniece's legacy to her daughter. 'The Piano Lesson' is the story of two siblings' struggle to come to terms with their inheritance and the ghosts of their dead.
