AngelaT Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Stannington Players proudly present Calendar Girls (The Play) by Tim Firth Wednesday 5th - Saturday 8th September 2012 at the Lomas Hall, Church Street, Stannington, S6 6DB Please Ring 0114 234-2176 to order tickets. £6/5 includes refreshments. 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 manage to persuade four fellow WI members to pose nude with them for an "alternative" calendar, with a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer Lawrence. 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 opened at the Chichester Festival Theatre and has since become the fastest selling play in British theatre history.
