A review by lyssaczernek
The Piano Lesson by August Wilson

3.0

I loved the first act, but the second fell a bit flat for me. I think this play does a phenomenal job touching on gender roles and the unfair burden put on many women to uphold family legacy. I also think the themes of racism, Black identity, and struggling to love yourself are all really present and add many layers to the story being told. To be honest I think I liked analyzing this piece more than I did reading it!
