The delightful movie made famous with Helen Mirren comes to the VST stage! When Annie’s husband dies of leukemia, she and her best friend Chris (Helen Mirren) resolve to raise money for the local hospital. 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 in the Yorkshire Dales. The calendar is a wild success! Based on the true story of eleven WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukemia Research Fund, CALENDAR GIRLS has since become the fastest selling play in British theatre history. A portion of the VST ticket and calendar sales will be donated to a local cancer foundation.
