Description

Directed by Tony Award nominee LaTanya Richardson Jackson, the star-studded cast includes Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington and Danielle Brooks. Centered around a sibling battle over a family heirloom—a piano engraved with the faces of the family ancestors—this August Wilson play sees its first revival in over 30 years. The Piano Lesson illustrates how a work of art can trigger vastly differing perspectives on heritage, opportunity and accountability—all within the same household.
