Calendar Girls – 10^th, 11^th and 12^th October 2013

Directed by Suzanne Hack and produced by Stuart Cross.

The “Calendar Girls” are a group of extraordinary women, members of a very ordinary Yorkshire Women’s Institute WI), who persuade one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference – in the nude!

The work of the Calendar girls is dedicated to the memory of John Baker who died from Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in July 1998, aged 54.John knew of the Calendar idea before his death but said to his wife Angela (Miss February) “you will never do it, you are all talk!”.The WI calendar was originally made to raise money to buy a new sofa for the hospital where John was treated. They had no idea of the media sensation it would create.

To date they have raised over £3 million for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research,

The play is set in the fictional village of Knapeley, Yorkshire twelve years ago. The story is spread over a whole year.
