Calendar Girls<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/font>by Tim Firth, based on the Miramax film <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

screenplay by Juliette Towhidi and Tim Firth<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
directed for BATS by Tom De Beckker<\/span><\/span> <\/font><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/font>A group of extraordinary women, members of a very ordinary Yorkshire WI, persuade one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference – no more photos of Wharfedale bridges or Norman churches for them. Overcoming their initial reserve, the friends drop their dressing gowns, their modesty spared only by artfully placed cakes, knitting and flower arrangements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Puzzling their husbands, mortifying their children and riding the wrath of the outraged WI, they spark a global phenomenon. But as media inte<\/span>rest snowballs, the Calendar Girls find themselves exposed in ways they\u2019d never expected, revealing more than they\u2019d ever planned. A very English story with a very English heart, Calendar Girls is quirky, poignant and hilarious.<\/p>\n

Adapted by Tim Firth from the Miramax film of the same name, it is based on an uplifting and very inspiring true story.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Performances on 24, 25, 26, 27 (20.00) and 28 (15.00) October 2012 – Tickets are \u20ac15 (\u20ac13 for students and >65)
