The trailer for The Piano Lesson has arrived, it’s a new Netflix movie based on August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1987 play of the same name. It stars Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, Danielle Deadwyler, and more.
“A battle is brewing in the Charles Household,” the official synopsis for the movie reads. “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’s heritage. Their uncle (Samuel L. Jackson) tries to mediate, but even he can’t hold back the ghosts of the past. Adapted from August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork, The Piano Lesson explores the intergenerational dynamics of identity, resilience, and transcendence – revealing startling truths about how we perceive the past and who gets to define our legacy.”
