Three-quarters view of woman's face. She is wearing a hat with flowers.Clover is a full-length play by Laura Rocklyn and Ty Hallmark exploring the life of Clover Adams, wife of Henry Adams and pioneer female photographer. Upon arriving in Gilded Age Washington, D.C., Clover immerses herself in the political and social scene, but then, the death of her beloved father and possible trouble in her marriage subject her to darker forces that run in her family line.

Natalie Dykstra’s 2012 biography Clover Adams: A Gilded and Heartbreaking Life inspired and guided the playwrights' work. Dykstra will participate in a conversation with the creators and audience following the performance.
