Description: 'Jim's Leg' is a comedy of reversed sex roles. This device is a familiar one, most often enacted in the political realm in fantasy pieces where women are in control of the machinery of government and men struggle for respect and representation, such as Mary Cholmondeley's 'Votes for Men' or Alison Garland's 'The Better Half'. In this play the role reversal is anchored in believable social reality as the speaker recounts how her husband's losing.
