The daring cast of Horfield Theatre Company's production of Calendar Girls
Spokeswoman Teresa Derrick said: "Horfield Theatre Company was delighted to hear that Tim Firth's Calendar Girls would be available to amateur companies for just one year.
"Although when they received permission to produce the quirky, poignant and hilarious play with a very English heart about a group of extraordinary women, the delight was suddenly mixed with some trepidation. Would they get a cast with the ability to give this story the credit it deserves and get six fabulous women prepared to be 'nude' in public?

“Well, that's a great poem Sid, but we are far from "Elderly" at Horfield Theatre Company! Thanks for the article This is Bristol - we are all very excited about our production of Calendar Girls, and are looking forward to it, and to raising as much as we can for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research with our calendar.”

“When those vertical ridges
Appear round the mouth,
Your forehead is wrinkled,
Your nipples point South.
When the figure of Venus,
With muscles rock hard,
Is safely preserved
Under five stones of lard.
When the beer belly's dropped
To cover the knees
And you must clench the buttocks
Whenever you sneeze.
When the hair on your head,
Which now disappears,
Returns through the nostrils
The cheeks and the ears.
When you feel you have suet
Where once you had brains
And you start getting grief
From your varicose veins.
You know that it's time for
That last parting jest.
So throw off your knickers
Dispense with the vest!
For now that your years
Can be counted in tens,
It's off with the clothes
And in front of the lens!
For the whole world is making,
Or so it appears,
Charity nude calendars
Which feature old dears,
Elderly ladies
Who feel it's a crime
To squander the potential
Of egg sucking time.
You think of your children
Now people of means
You've still to pay back
For the storms of their teens.
They won't dare show their faces
Down in the pub
And may have to resign
From the rotary club.
And then there's the grandkids,
Wee smarties no doubt.
They know all the answers?
Well, sort this one out!
It's worth the goose pimples
Observing with joy
The horrorstruck face
Of each girl and boy.
So come all you bold wrinklies
Wherever you be,
It's calendar season.
Come a posing with me.
