» Chichester puts Calendar Girls on stage
The stage version of Calendar Girls will premier at Chichester Festival Theatre on Friday 5 September
The show stars Lynda Bellingham, Patricia Hodge, Siân Phillips, Gaynor Faye, Brigit Forysth, Julia Hills and Elaine C Smith as members of the WI who create a nude calendar to raise money for charity.
Written by Tim Firth, who co-wrote the screenplay of the 2003 Miramax film, the story is based upon true-life events. Calendar Girls follows the fortunes of a group of extraordinary women, all members of a very ordinary YorkshireWomen’s Institute who persuade each other to pose for a charity calendar with a difference.
Calendar Girls opens at Chichester Festival Theatre on 5 September and runs until 27 September. Tickets £11-£33 available form the Box Office on 01243 781312 or online at www.cft.org.uk
