Four One-Legged Men!, written and performed by Gary Corbin and directed by William Martin, opens at The Producers Club / Grand Theatre on the 7 Oct 2005, following previews from the 5 Oct and running through to the 23 Oct 2005.

Four One-Legged Men! consists of four vignettes that depict four distinct amputees from different backgrounds, seasons and eras:

• A Day In The Life Of Jamie Prince - a writer who visits his dying foster grandparent who is in a nursing home in the Winter of 2005;
• Rainbow - a father in a visitation rights battle in the Spring of 1959;
• I'll Betcha That! - a gay male on his way to a Fourth of July party in the Summer of 1990, but falls and breaks his artificial leg;
• Waiting for Oz - a delusional Vietnam veteran on a psyche ward after returning from the battlefield in the Fall of 1969. The final vignette is performed without an artificial leg.
