Calendar Girls By Tim Firth

When Annie's husband, John, dies of leukaemia, she and best friend, Chris, resolve to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting-room. They manage to persuade fellow WI members to pose nude with them for an "alternative" calendar. This proves a success; but Chris and Annie's friendship is put to the test under the strain of their newfound fame.

Based on a true story, Calendar Girls has become the fastest selling play in British theatre history.
