CALENDAR GIRLS by Tim Firth
This heartwarming and hilarious play by Tim Firth is based on a true story and the hit 2003 film.
When Annie's husband dies of leukemia, she and her best friend Chris decide to raise funds for the local hospital. Despite raised eyebrows from the local community they create a calendar featuring themselves and their friends from the Women's Institute...in tastefully nude poses. As they embark on their fundraising journey over the seasons, the friends discover a newfound sense of confidence and sisterhood, breaking free from societal expectations of middle age. And as the word begins to spread, these Calendar Girls begin to turn heads and capture hearts around the world.
Destined to make you laugh, make you cry and make you blush! CALENDAR GIRLS is a glorious celebration of friendship, community, and the power of ordinary people to make a difference.
The Mill at Sonning is delighted that The George Hatfield Theatrical Arts Foundation is now up and running as a charity. On Tuesday, April 23rd - also St George’s day - we are holding a charity gala of our production of Calendar Girls. The funds raised on this evening will go towards helping the next round of theatrical arts students. On the night of the 23rd you will not only have dinner and see the play, you will also have the opportunity to meet and hear from the 8 students that the charity has most recently helped.
The tickets are the same price as other performances, however The Mill is donating the profits from the evening to the charity. We will also be holding a fun raffle at the event.
