Richmond Theatre : Calendar Girls
Supported by Clydesdale Bank PLC
“We're going to need considerably bigger buns”
At first glance it should look like your classic WI calendar. Jams, cakes, sewing and all that. Except for one tiny thing…the ladies are not naked, they're nude.
A group of extraordinary women, members of a very ordinary WI, persuade one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference.
Puzzling their husbands, mortifying their children and riding the wrath of the outraged WI, they achieve their goal of raising money for charity, but inadvertently spark a global phenomenon.
Adapted by Tim Firth from his smash-hit film of the same name, Calendar Girls is quirky, poignant and hilarious.
