"The Piano Lesson explores questions of family, race and ambition in a powerful but relatable fashion, intertwining personal and historical narratives that resonate across generations."
"The play has seen a range of productions and adaptations, from a 1995 Hallmark movie to a Broadway revival, showcasing its enduring relevance in contemporary culture."
