Is there a show out there written for male twins? The ones I'm thinking of are fraternal but with very little effort can make themselves almost identical. They are 27 years old and strong actors and singers. Just thought this was in interesting thought and wondered if any of you could come up with anything. Hmmm......? ------------- The Main Thing is to Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing |

| We did an adaptation of A Tale of Two Cities -- didn't use twins, but Carton and Darnay are supposed to resemble one another so you could cast fraternal twins very well. |

WOW! Thanks for the great response. I've got some research now to keep me busy! I had no idea there were so many. Am open to hear about more if there are any.

| I saw Ring Around the Moon on Broadway several years ago. This play uses only one person to play both twins but has a great feature: As one twin exits on one side of the stage the other twin is already entering from the other side - there is a quick substitution as the first exits so the actor can change and get ready to enter. It happens every time and it is hard to see the swap. A lot of fun. |
