Based on the true story of eleven older women who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukemia Research Fund. "Calendar Girls" opened at the Chichester Festival Theatre and has since become the fastest-selling play in British theatre history.

Annie's husband dies of leukemia after a valiant struggle. She and her best friend Chris resolve to raise money for new furniture in the local hospital's visitor's lounge. Chris' idea is to produce a calendar, but rather than showing scenic views of Yorkshire, they manage to persuade some of their friends at the local Women's Club to boost sales by posing nude with them to create an alternative calendar.
