Calendar Girls poster Wollongong Workshop Theatre

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 Women's Institute members to pose nude with them for an "alternative" calendar, with a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer Lawrence. The news of the women's charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the small village of Knapeley in the Yorkshire Dales. The calendar is a success, but Chris and Annie's friendship is put to the test under the strain of their new-found fame. 

 

Based on the true story of eleven women who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukaemia Research Fund, Calendar Girls is a witty and heartwarming story of friendship and determination.

"Absolutely brilliant - moments of sadness followed by much laughter. It was wonderful. Well done to all."

"Such a joy to be at opening night. A fun filled experience and it shone through in the wonderful performances; just so great to watch and be part of. Plenty of smiles."
