You couldn’t fully write the play around them if you wanted to to put it on reliably, but you could probably take some interesting shortcuts. “Oh, the protagonist is supposed to wake up from a nightmare in a nervous sweat? Okay, cut to black while they’re in the nightmare scene; moments later, open the lights on another part of the stage where the identical twin actor is fully dressed in pajamas and wakes up in bed.”
As long as you juggled this right, you could have a character that teleports and changes costumes instantly. I’ve never done theatre, but this sounds versatile.

One of very few movies you can do very little to describe without giving away the movies big moment.

I wonder why Christian Bale’s twin bro never acted again after that one.

Or Linda Hamilton’s in Terminator 2, except literally.
