The Stonemason

A five-act drama set in 1970s Louisville, Kentucky, focusing on the legacy of the Telfairs, a multi-generational family of Black stonemasons. The narrative explores the apprenticeship of Ben Telfair under his 101-year-old grandfather, Papaw, while the family around them faces moral and financial disintegration. It serves as a philosophical meditation on the spiritual dimensions of craftsmanship, the transmission of ancestral values, and the ethics of manual labor.
