THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON COMES TO NOTTINGHAM!

At first glance it should look like your classic WI calendar. Jams, cakes, sewing and all that. Except for one tiny thing…the ladies aren’t naked, they’re nude.

A group of extraordinary women, members of a very ordinary Yorkshire WI, persuade one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference - no more photos of Wharfedale Bridges or Norman churches for them. Overcoming their initial reserve, the friends drop their dressing gowns, modesty spared only by artfully placed cakes, knitting and flower arrangements.

Puzzling their husbands, mortifying their children, and riding the wrath of the outraged WI, they spark a global phenomenon. But as media interest snowballs, the Calendar Girls find themselves exposed in ways they would never have expected, revealing more than they would have ever planned.

A very British story with a very British/English heart, Calendar Girls is quirky, poignant and hilarious. Adapted by Tim Firth from his smash-hit Mirimax film of the same name, it is based on an uplifting and very inspiring true story.

‘The stage version of Calendar Girls achieves the rare and pleasing feat of outstripping the film both in terms of heart and humour. One of the most enjoyable evenings 2008 theatre has produced’
Evening Standard

‘A SHOW WHOSE FEELGOOD FACTOR IS SKY-HIGH.
Unashamedly sentimental and full of heart and bare-faced cheek’
The Guardian


The original Calendar Girls calendar was made in support of Leukaemia Research and in memory of Angela Baker's husband John who died of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma ten years ago. Angela and her friends continue to support Leukaemia Research and to this day have raised over £1.5million.
