It premiered in Costa Mesa, California, on April 25, 2004, by South Coast Repertory and starred Eliza Pryor Nagel as Lucy, Glen Fleshier as Mr. Marmalade, Guilford Adams as Larry and Marc Vietor as Bradley.
She leaves and Bradley, Mr. Marmalade's assistant, enters, much to Lucy's excitement, and enthusiastically joins the tea party.
Lucy asks why he is wearing sunglasses indoors at night, but Bradley evades the question.
She also asks if there has been any more word about Mexico, but Bradley hasn't heard anything, citing that Mr. Marmalade is busy.
He initially claims that it was an accident, but then admits that he received it for forgetting Mr. Marmalade's dry cleaning.
He quickly admits that the real reason was due to petty theft and a suicide attempt.
