The Piano Lesson is an adaptation of August Wilson ’s 1987 play.

The film stars Danielle Deadwyler as Berniece Charles , a widowed mother whose brother tries to convince her to sell their family's piano.

The piano is a family heirloom that features designs carved by their ancestor, and carries much of the family's history.

The term “surrender” is massive. It was at least three or four days . It is multiple takes. It's all day . So much of that is spirit. Speaking in tongues wasn't in the script—it was a collective effort to conjure and to release. I had to be constantly allowing myself to give over.
