Backstage at the Goodman: The Piano Lesson (by turgical)
This 18 minute video-documentary provides a behind the scenes look at Lloyd Richards’ production of August Wilson’s The Piano Lesson at the Goodman Theater, Chicago, in Feb. 1989. Note that Wilson had not yet decided that Berniece would be able to keep the piano at the end of the play because Boy Willie realizes that it helps her to exorcise the ghost of Sutter. This change was then made at the Old Globe in San Diego, prior to the Broadway and the Pulilzer Prize being bestowed on the play.
