Use of stagy

Hi

Is the use of stagy natural English in these sentences? Any suggestions please?

  1. She was on the floor, writing in stagy pain.
  2. Her suffering is all stagy.
  3. Sara was shivering in a stagy anger/rage.
  4. He let out a few stagy laughters as he heard the joke.

Thanks,

Tom

It's ok in a context where you mean something is needlessly theatrical or artificial, and intended to be overheard by some kind of audience. But I don't hear it a lot.
