Two girls, raised in opposite parts of the country, accidentally meet in an upscale California mall. Madison and Emily, both eighth graders, realize that not only do they look exactly alike and have the same birthday, but they have too many similarities for it to be pure coincidence. Drew, Madison\u2019s friend, insists that they must be twins. Overriding Madison\u2019s father\u2019s objections, they pursue an answer and are thrilled to discover that, yes, they are identical twins, who were separated at birth. They vow to be friends forever and plan to visit over spring break. But there is one significant difference between them. Emily is in an Honors Math class and Madison is barely getting by. Madison\u2019s crucial city-wide high school placement test is imminent, and she\u2019s desperate. Madison pressures Emily to take the math section in her place arguing, \u201cNo one can tell us apart.\u201d Emily calls it cheating. Madison calls her \u201cSelfish,\u201d and Emily storms out. When Drew sees Emily crying he confronts Madison and is shocked by the situation. \u201cCould you live with that lie?\u201d he asks Madison. \u201cDo you want to lose your twin, your one and only sister?\u201d Ashamed, Madison apologizes to her twin, followed by a hint of reconciliation. An ideal play for High School competitions and festivals. It could also play convincingly and easily for an online presentation.
