Pierre Players Presents: "Calendar Girls"

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 WI members to pose nude with them for an “alternative” calendar. 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 new-found fame. The play is based on the true story of 11 WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukemia Research Fund. "Calendar Girls" is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
