Calendar Girls
by Tim Firth
"After the death of her best friend's husband from cancer, spirited housewife Chris Harper hatches a scheme to raise money for a memorial to him. Utilizing a tradition from the Hidebound Women's Institute association, Chris encourages Annie and their friends to create a calendar -- with the novel detail of using the middle-aged women of the Womens Institute to pose au natural. The news of the women's charitable venture spreads like wildfire, and hordes of press soon descend on the village. The calendar is a success, but friendships are put to the test under the strain of the new-found fame. Based on the true story of eleven Womens Institute members who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukemia Research Fund."
Featuring an all-star Kingston ensemble cast, headed up by Kathy Griffin and Amie Bello, and directed by Moira Davies.
