The Piano Lesson
The play was inspired by Romare Beardens painting Piano Lesson. It is set in Pittsburgh in 1936 and focuses upon the relationship between the Charles siblings, Berniece and Boy Willie, who clash over whether or not their familys piano should be sold. In the mid-nineteenth century, when the Charles family were slaves, two members of the family were sold by their owners, the Sutters, for a piano. Subsequently, 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 familys entire history into the piano. The instrument was later stolen by Berniece and Boy Willies father, who was then killed by the Sutters in retribution.
