Telluride: The stars of Netflix's "The Piano Lesson" have now both played the same role in the August Wilson piece, which they tell IndieWire changed both of their lives for the better.
A brand new film is heading to Netflix based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by August Wilson. The Piano Lesson, set to premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, will be the feature directorial debut of Malcolm Washington and follows the Charles family as they decide what to do with a beloved heirloom: the family piano.
