This Wharfedale story went viral in 1999 and is still inspiring us today. It has been a film, a play and is now a musical with passionate and catchy music by Gary Barlow and a wonderful, moving script by Tim Firth.

This is a tale of strong women supporting each other to raise money to defy a disease which touches us all. Would you dare to bare?

Well, this is what leading actress Chris has to say: ‘Frankly, guys, if anything meant we’d get that much closer to killing off this shitty, cheating, sly, conniving disease that cancer is, then God, I tell you; I would run naked round Skipton market, smeared in jam with a knitted tea cosy on my head, singing Jerusalem.’

There will be a signed performance in BSL for the second matinee on Saturday 2nd May. The signer is Amanda Cross who told us: ‘I am a BSL performer for musical theatre productions. I have been signing for 40 years and have a wealth of experience with arena tours, productions and performances. My aim is to try to make musical theatre as accessible as possible for the deaf community, but also the addition of sign language can add an extra depth and element to a production to elevate a show for hearing people too. Even if a hearing audience doesn't understand the signs themselves, the emotion and meaning comes through which many people appreciate and can be incredibly moved by emotionally. Rather than being a distraction on the stage, a good BSL signer only enhances a show'.
