Henry James coined her “Voltaire in Petticoats.” Gregarious, intelligent, and worldly, Clover Adams dove into the political and social scene upon arriving in DC in the 1870s. But after years of dinner parties with Presidential cabinet members, scotch-fueled evenings with the Hay family, and portrait sitting sessions, Clover’s spark began to dim. In 1885, while coping with her beloved father’s death and the possible philandering of her husband, the darker forces that brewed through her family line finally caught Clover in their grasp. Directed by Sara Bickler, Clover will connect today’s Washington, DC audience to Clover’s Washington. This production will be a part of the Women’s Voices Theater Festival.

The Women’s Voices Theater Festival, which boasts participation from more than 50 theaters throughout the Nation’s Capital region, is dedicated to featuring new work by female playwrights and highlighting the scope of plays being written by women. More information on the two-month festival will be announced at a later date.
