Birthday Candles

Birthday Candles is a Tony Award-nominated play by Noah Haidle. Birthday Candles is a sweet time-machine made of butter and sugar, full of philosophy and charm, in which Ernestine Ashworth, a teenager at the beginning, was convinced of the grandeur of life, and that all birthdays can be put in layers in the cake. From age 17-107, decades pass by without a single costume or make-up change. She goes through love, heartbreak, motherhood, and the universe’s deepest questions, all while keeping the oven on, and serves us a charming and witty reminder that life is fast, but tradition(and cake) is eternal.
