Cryptophasia

We “twinky promise” you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll love this world-premiere production at Stagebugz Theatre.

Cryptophasia (N)- The phenomenon of an autonomous language developed by twins that only the two children can understand.

Anna and Bella Lavey, soul mates and identical twins joined at the hip, have grown up believing that they cannot live without each other. But when Anna develops a fatal heart condition just when it seems she has her whole future ahead of her, the girls are confronted with the true cost of freedom–if such a thing even exists at all. Anna, Bella, and their family must make the excruciating decision whether to stay together and hope for a miracle, or undergo a separation that will save Bella’s life but lead to Anna’s guaranteed demise. As their bond is challenged by their individual desires and a world that doesn’t understand, both girls question who they are together and apart, and ponder the value of life without love.
