Set in 1936 Pittsburg during the aftermath of the Great Depression, The Piano Lesson follows the lives of the Sutter family in the Doaker Charles household and an heirloom, the infamous piano. The play focuses on the arguments between a brother and a sister who have different ideas on what to do with the piano they own. The final question proposed by The Piano Lesson seems to ask, “what do you do with your legacy, and how do you best put it to use?”
