About the show
Calendar GirlsBy Juliette Towhidi & Tim Firth
Based on the Miramax motion picture by Juliette Towhidi and Tim Firth
Presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc
Directed by: Deidre Parmenter
Produced by: Erin Fagundes & Robin Rassell
When Annie’s husband John dies of leukemia, 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 newfound fame. The art of the play’s nudity lies in what is withheld – and can be described as “fabulous concealment” (author Tim Firth).
