Tim Firth
27 Sep 10 to 02 Oct 10
Liverpool Empire Theatre
Starring Denise Black, Jean Boht, Jennifer Ellison, Julia Hills, Ruth Madoc, Elaine C Smith, Rachel Lumberg with Joe McGann as John and Bruno Langley as Lawrence the photographer.
A group of ordinary women do something extraordinary and spark a global phenomenon when they persuade one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference.
Despite the Calendar Girls story bringing so much joy to film and stage show audiences, it started with a moment of great sadness.

If you spot a man in the audience frantically scribbling notes during a performance of Calendar Girls, it might be worth asking for his autograph.
He could be the show’s writer, Tim Firth, checking up on his own work.

This was one date Anne Charleston certainly wasn’t expecting.
The Neighbours star was relaxing at home in Galway when she got a call asking her to replace Jean Boht who had had to withdraw from the Calendar Girls’ tour.
