Make a date with Calendar Girls

Thursday, December 04, 2008, 23:00

THE stage version of Calendar Girls opens at Plymouth's Theatre Royal on Monday, December 8, for a week-long run.

It's the captivating story about a group of extraordinary women, members of a very ordinary Yorkshire WI, who persuade one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference.

Overcoming their initial reserve, the friends drop their dressing gowns, modesty spared only by artfully placed cakes, knitting and flower arrangements.

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. But as media interest snowballs, the Calendar Girls find themselves exposed in ways they'd never expected.

The stars include Lynda Bellingham, Patricia Hodge, Sian Philips, Gaynor Faye, Brigit Forsyth, Julia Hills and Elaine C Smith.

Box Office: 01752 267222.
