An Oxford drama group has gone for greater exposure and bared all for charity.

The members of the Headington-based Studio Theatre Club, which stages its quarterly performances at the Unicorn Theatre, in Abingdon, shed their clothes to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

During the summer, members of the club posed naked for a calendar, entitled Much Ado About -- Nothing On.

Each image in the calendar has been inspired by the dramas of William Shakespeare.

Some of the locations they used for their cheeky backdrops included Shotover Park in Oxford, White Horse Hill and Waylands Smithy, near Wantage, and the banks of the River Windrush in west Oxfordshire.

The calendars cost £5 and will be on sale at their next production, an adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Night Watch, in the Abbey buildings next year. Cancer Research UK will receive £3.75 of the cover price.

Copies of the calendar are also available by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to PO Box 147, OX2 8YT, or by visiting the website www.stephenbriggs.com/stccalendar
