Calendar Girls: the global phenomenon live on stage

Calendar Girls has been the fastest selling tour ever and has triumphed in the West End. Now it's coming to Cornwall for one week from 10-15 May.

The hit show stars ELIZABETH BENNETT, ANNE CHARLESTON, GEMMA CRAVEN, CHARLIE DIMMOCK, LETITIA DEAN, SU HOLDERNESS, HANNAH WATERMAN and DEAN GAFFNEY as the photographer.

 

A group of ordinary women, members of a very ordinary Yorkshire WI, spark a global phenomenon by persuading one another to pose for a charity calendar with a difference! As interest snowballs, the CALENDAR GIRLS find themselves revealing more than they'd ever planned...

 

ELIZABETH BENNETT's best known in the UK as Enid Thompson in Home to Roost and for her regular appearances on Heartbeat. ANNE CHARLESTON is best known as Madge in Neighbours. GEMMA CRAVEN shot to fame as Cinderalla in the film The Slipper and the Rose. CHARLIE DIMMOCK makes her stage debut in Calendar Girls having become one of the nation's favourite gardeners through her appearances on Ground Force. LETITIA DEAN is best known as Sharon Watts in Eastenders a role she played from the opening episode for over ten years.  Another Eastender, DEAN GAFFNEY stars as the photographer. SU HOLDERNESS is best known as Marlene Boyce in the BBC's hugely popular Only Fools and Horses as well as the spin off series The Green Green Grass. HANNAH WATERMAN is probably best known as Ian Beale's long suffering wife Laura in Eastenders. She joins the tour of Calendar Girls direct from the West End production.

 

CALENDAR GIRLS is directed by Olivier Award winner HAMISH McCOLL. Hamish is probably best known as half of the double act THE RIGHT SIZE, who from 1988 created a unique style of comic theatre culminating in the smash hit The Play What I Wrote which won the Olivier Award for Best Entertainment. Other credits include director for French and Saunders' farewell tour Still Alive and the screenplay for Mr Bean's Holiday. 

 

There are evening performances at 7.30pm - plus matinees on Thursday at 1.30pm and Saturday 3pm. The Thursday evening performance is signed and the Saturday matinee will be audio described.

Tickets are £11 (RV) and £27.50, plus a Theatre Fund payment. Book now by calling the Box Office on 01872 262 466 or log onto www.hallforcornwall.co.uk
