The Pulitzer Prize–winning play, set in the Great Depression, is the story of two siblings’ struggle to come to terms with their inheritance and the ghosts of their ancestors. Raising questions about family, remembrance and the legacy of slavery, The Piano Lesson promises a poignant evening of drama.
