Calendar Girls to Strike a Pose at the Tivoli, Wimborne
Based on the true story of WI members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for charity, Calendar Girls, written by Tim Firth, is a comedy-drama about friendship, loss and courage that will make you laugh and cry.
When Annie’s husband, John, dies of leukaemia, 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, with a little help from hospital porter and amateur photographer, Lawrence. But when media interest in the women’s charitable venture grows, the Calendar Girls find themselves exposed in ways they’d never expected, revealing more than they’d ever planned.
Directed by Sali Pike, this amateur production of Calendar Girls is being performed by Wimborne Drama Productions at the Tivoli Theatre from 22 – 24 May. Amongst the cast are Lesley James, Julie Sissons, Heather Birchenough, Leah Jane, Bethan Morris and Tracey Nicholls.
