At the center stands a prized heirloom piano tearing two siblings apart. On one side, a brother (John David Washington) plans to build the family fortune by selling it. On the other, a sister (Danielle Deadwyler) will go to any lengths to hold onto the sole vestige of the family\u2019s heritage. Their uncle (Samuel L. Jackson) tries to mediate, but even he can\u2019t hold back the ghosts of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adapted from August Wilson\u2019s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork, <em>THE PIANO LESSON<\/em> explores the intergenerational dynamics of identity, resilience and transcendence &#8211; revealing startling truths about how we perceive the past and who gets to define our legacy.
