This is an attempt to track down theatre productions in which leg-braces are worn by actors or actresses. Clearly directors will interpret the requirement to use leg-braces differently so, although the original script may suggest their use, they may not be used in any particular production. What follows is a list of plays that have, at least in some production somewhere, used leg-braces.

The Rimers of Eldritch
by Lanford Wilson
Seems a favorite with small scale productions. Often with a girl in AFO or KAFO brace.

A Christmas Carol
from the novel by Charles Dickens
Tiny Tim often seen in braces in plays.

Brace Yourself
by Liebe Wetzel
A puppet theatre meditation on the once-epidemic scourge of polio. "A wheel and a cane become a playground for happy children's shoes, skillfully manipulated by black-clad puppeteers. Pots and lids convey the terror of iron lungs. High heels, hats, a coy purse and a leg brace enjoy a delightful courtship."

The Glass Menagerie
by Tennessee Williams

The Magic Barrel
from a series of short stories by Bernard Malamud
BBC TV play from the late 1950s/early 1960s.  Adapted from a short story, in which a marriage broker tries to `help' a Rabbi find a wife. All the time she is steering him toward her own daughter and throws some pretty awful girls at him. In a dance hall he meets a stunning girl, she is sitting, after small talk he asks her to dance to the music she is obviously enjoying. She stands, becomes angry and shows him her leg which has a rather neat English double below knee iron strapped to it and set off rather fetchingly on a hefty raised shoe.

Sunrise at Campobella
by Dore Schary
Starred Ralph Bellamy as President F.D. Roosevelt
