‘Three Pianos’ at New York Theater Workshop

NYTimes.com: "Perhaps your house, like many, has an upright piano in it that doesn’t get a lot of use anymore — the children are grown and gone, or the ol’ hands have a touch of arthritis, or no one ever really learned to play the danged thing in the first place. And perhaps you’re moderately annoyed every time you look across the room and see the inactive beast — essentially, a 700-pound, $3,000 picture-frame holder. But that’s because you haven’t been to “Three Pianos” at New York Theater Workshop. One revelation of this wacky assault on Franz Schubert’s “Winterreise,” created and performed by Rick Burkhardt, Alec Duffy and Dave Malloy, is that the upright piano is a much more versatile piece of furniture than most of us realize.
