The Piano Lesson

There’s nobody like August Wilson. His ten-play cycle, chronicling the lives of African-Americans in each decade of the 20th century, is among the greatest masterpieces of our time. One of Wilson’s most powerful and transcendent works, The Piano Lesson is a profound, melodic tale set in 1930s Pittsburgh. To reclaim his family’s legacy, Boy Willie must sell their priceless heirloom, but will his sister and the ghosts of their past stand in his way? Full of soaring poetry and shattering intensity, The Piano Lesson is a universal story of memory and perseverance.
