Ernestine Ashworth recreates the same birthday cake each year as she ages from 17 to 101 without any external signs of aging. The actress playing Ashworth is on stage for the entire show. It is 90 minutes long, with no intermission.
Four-year-old Lucy plays with her imaginary friend, the often-absent Mr. Marmalade, while she tries to make sense of the adults around her. His assistant Bradley, her babysitter, and a troubled boy reveal the darker realities beneath her playacting.
Gustin Novak is seen at ages 28, 58, and 88, with three actors portraying him. A single woman plays the central female figure in his life as his wife, daughter, and later carer. The play draws on the astrological idea of a Saturn return to examine his relationships across a lifetime.
