poster_255

Presented at Lowther Pavilion - 5 to 8 September 2012.

Directed by Di Prutton.

 

 

 

 


“Calendar Girls”, funny and sentimental by turns is based on the true story of 12 Women’s Institute members who posed for an ‘alternative’ calendar to raise money for leukaemia research after one of them is widowed by the disease. The six women in the play are all good friends, but their success isn’t all good news and the friendship between Chris and Annie, in particular, is severely tested by events.
