I'm a retired librarian and couldn't resist the question, so I searched some authors for you. Edward Albee has identical twins in "The Ametican Dream", and Tom Stoppard's "Hopgood" is stated in a review that "Twins abound, both real and imagined..."

Couldn't find any twins in plays by Christopher Durang.

The scene you described I couldn't verify.

Thank you for looking into this.

The American Dream by Edward Albee doesn't have any twins. I can't find anything about "The Ametican Dream," I assumed that was a typo. EDIT: Looking a little more there is discussion of a twin, but the twin does not appear in the play.

The plot summaries I've found of Hapgood (again assuming a typo) don't sound anything like the play I'm thinking of.
