This Pulitzer Prize-winning play by August Wilson is the fourth play in his dramatic cycle of ten plays covering the 20th century. Set in the mid-1930s, The Piano Lesson follows the conflict between two siblings struggling over whether to sell a family heirloom, a carved piano depicting family history.
While the surface conflict over the sale is dramatic, it serves to show the struggle between saving heritage and moving past history’s troubles. The excellent characterization and dialogue make this a perfect choice for a teacher looking for a great drama to use in the classroom.
