Do you really know
the story of
Calendar Girls?
Why does
a group of ordinary women undertake such an extraordinary venture?
When Annie's
husband John dies of leukaemia, she and best friend Chris resolve to
raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room.
They persuade fellow WI members to join them in posing nude for an
'alternative' WI calendar. The play explores the effects of the
calendar's success on the women’s relationships with each other,
their husbands, those in authority and others trying to take
advantage of what becomes an international phenomenon.
The humour
and sadness demonstrates the support that these women show to their
friend in time of need.
Based on the true
story of eleven WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise
money for the Leukaemia Research Fund,
Calendar Girls
has become the fastest selling play in British theatre history.
