August Wilson's "The Piano Lesson"
In "The Piano Lesson" August Wilson's second Pulitzer
Prize-winner and his most haunting and dramatic work,
Wilson has fashioned an ebullient and heart-stopping
play whose real music is in the language.


At the heart of the play stands the ornately carved
upright piano which, as the Charles Family's, hard-won
possession has been gathering dust in the parlor of
Bernice Charles's Pittsburgh home.  When Boy Willie,
Bernice's exuberant brother, bursts into her life with
his dream of buying the same Mississippi land that his
family had worked on as slaves, he plans to sell their
antique piano for the hard cash he needs to stake his
future. But Bernice refuses to sell, clinging to the
piano as a reminder of the history that is their
family legacy.  The dilemma is the real "Piano
Lesson," reminding us that black people are often
deprived of the symbols of the past and of opportunity
in the present.


Winner of the 1990 New York Drama Critic's Circle
Award for best new play.
