Adapted from the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by August Wilson, The Piano Lesson is a story about a disagreement between a brother and sister about what to do with an heirloom piano carved by a great-grandfather that is haunted by a ghost from the family's enslaved past. The brother, played by John David Washington, wants to sell the piano to buy the land where his ancestors worked as slaves. For the sister, played by Danielle Deadwyler, it is an irreplaceable connection with the past. Samuel L. Jackson plays their uncle who tries to mediate.
"The Wilson estate came to me 10 years ago and allowed me to take charge, or to shepherd, the making of these August Wilson plays," he said.
