THE PLAY:
The Piano Lesson
By August Wilson
Directed by Jeanne Wynne Herring

February 12 - March 7, 2010

The play is the fourth in August Wilson s cycle of plays about the African American experience in the 20th century. Set in Pittsburgh in 1936 it focuses upon the Charles siblings, Berniece and Boy Willie, who clash over whether to sell their family s piano. In the mid-19th century, when the family were slaves, two members were sold by their owners, the Sutters, for a piano. A master-carpenter in the Charles family was ordered by the Sutters to carve the faces of the sold slaves into the piano He did that and more: he carved the family s entire history into the piano. The instrument was later stolen by Berniece and Boy Willie s father, who was killed by the Sutters in retribution. The play s central and dominant metaphor is the piano, while ghosts and spirits haunt the unfolding drama.. The Piano Lesson won Wilson his second Pulitzer Prize for drama.
