(4) Base Camp

We think The Piano Lesson is one of August Wilson's most accessible plays. The language is beautifully poetic yet really easy to get into. The play is full of humor, drama, and even a little supernatural suspense. We guarantee you'll love The Piano Lesson's exciting story and loveable characters.
