Synopsis

A baby grand piano, dating over one hundred years, is delivered by the devil’s henchmen to the basement of Charlie Seraphic’s home. Charlie becomes possessed by the instrumental beast and an orphan, George, seems to be the only one who might be able to save him from the evil musical force dwelling below the floorboards.

The Back Story of the Story:

In June of 2002, Tait wrote, directed, produced, and starred in his one man show titled: How to Kill a Piano. This dark and twisted comedy combined Tait’s skilled piano playing with his long love of magic, side show stunts, and theater. The production followed the fictitious life of Tait’s love/hate relationship with the instrument and explored the darker side of the piano’s growth from a seed of evil. Imagine Wile E. Coyote vs. the Road Runner, but replace the coyote with Tait’s quick wit, and snappy dialog, and replace the road runner with a baby grand piano. Only then will you have a chase that takes so many twists and turns that it will make your head spin. How to Kill a Piano was a multimedia production involving live action, pyrotechnic special effects, music and projected media. Now some seven years later, Tait returns to How to Kill a Piano and takes another look at fragments of the story that had yet to be imagined. It’s a darker, more in-depth, look while Tait brings artist Jesse Rubenfeld (Into the Dust) along to create a completely new and unique experience within the medium of the written word.
