“Calendar Girls” revived by Yorkshire players

There’s nothing so British it seems as a group of nice middle-aged ladies stripping on stage for charity. The women above, the original Calendar Girls,  are responsible for this. It’s 13 years since their Women’s Institute group in a small North Yorkshire village bared all in that famous calendar to raise millions of pounds for charity. They became a legend in the process.  Now a Yorkshire theatrical troupe, the Grassington Players are performing naked for the world amateur premiere of the stage version of the incredible story.  It was back in 1999 when the ladies of Rylstone WI came up with an idea to raise money for charity. Their nude calendar and the story behind it sparked international interest, an award winning film and stage play. Video
