Enter Cliveden as it was in the mid-nineteenth century - a household and country in turmoil and mourning over the loss of husband and father, Benjamin Chew, Jr. This period of tension explores household dynamics, substance abuse and violence, exacerbated by societal shifts of the mid-19th century and still relevant today.
