Twins Turn Cancer Battle into Comedy Play
14 Sep
Summary
- Identical twin sisters transformed personal experiences into a comedy.
- One sister's breast cancer diagnosis shifted the play's focus.
- Letters written during treatment formed the basis of their new play.
Sisters Anna and Georgina Lewis, from Hastings, have channeled their unique experiences as identical twins into an autobiographical comedy. Initially intending to address common misconceptions about twins, their project evolved into a deeply personal narrative following Anna's breast cancer diagnosis in 2024, shortly after their 40th birthday.
Anna found solace and a way to process her treatment by writing letters to her sister. These letters, combined with their earlier writings, became the foundation for their play, 'Unravelling Twins'. This theatrical work uses humor to explore profound themes of twin identity, the challenges of illness, and the strength of friendship and resilience.
