A stage adaptation of the 2003 movie, written by the film’s co-author Tim Firth: 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. 

We are proud to present this hilarious 21st century take on the 1955 classic film written by William Rose, adapted for the stage by Graham Linehan (of "The IT Crowd" and "Father Ted" fame).  More...
