Calendar Girls season at the Fortune Theatre
10 November – 8 December 2012.

Calendar Girls by Tim Firth. An inspiring true story that is sure to have you laughing out loud.
Calendar Girls
“A group of extraordinary women, members of a very ordinary Yorkshire Women’s Institute, have plans to raise funds for charity: a calendar. They go “all out” in their fundraising efforts and expose more than they’d ever planned.
The news of the women’s charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales. The calendar is a success, but friendships are put to the test under the strain of new-found fame.
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.” – Fortune website.
