Are you taking applications?

I imagine you want to cast realistically. (You know, non-Indigenous actors should not play Indigenous characters, straight men should not play gay men, etc.)

Some here will recall how uniquely qualified I am for a role in your soon-to-be hit production. Herewith:

Age 5: fell off tricycle, chipped left humerus (bone chip still at loose)
Age 7: fell off playground apparatus, snapped left femur (3 months in hospital)
Many years later: broke right big toe falling up stairs (joint now immobile)
Not long after that: cracked left 5th metatarsal falling off curb (kerb?) at shopping mall
A couple of years after that: cracked same 5th metatarsal falling off driveway at sister's house
11 years ago: snapped right tibia slipping on linoleum (only time ever got "plastered"; titanium plate installed)

Do I get the lead?

Is there a handsome leading man?

......... Speaking of realism, of course ......... Is one required to break anything else in the course of the on-stage action?

You remember me. :)

Meanwhile, in the land of plays on words...

It's an anagram! A genealogical mystery, entitled:

Nee (Born) Knobs.

Wherever did Ms. Knobs go...
