Set in a golden era nightclub, All the World Is a Stage follows a songstress crumbling under the weight of societal pressures, job expectations, home life, and romantic life, who ultimately has to make a choice. Despite altering both her appearance and demeanor in a relentless bid to satisfy everyone, the audience gradually disperses, leaving her to finish her performance to what she believes is an empty room. The last few bars reveal one single pair of fixated eyes remaining: those of her young daughter.
