“PANTS AND POUTS” A local entrepreneur from South East Northumberland is getting in the mood for when national touring comedy, Big Pants and Botox, comes to The Phoenix Theatre, Blyth in May. Andrea Bath, has been running AB Medical UK in the town for the past seven years and she has done over 30,000 aesthetic treatments including the popular procedure of Botox which has become a must have process with people up and down the country. Andrea, an advanced nurse practitioner, displayed a pair of funny oversized women’s pants as Blyth looks forward to the welcome return of the one woman show that stars TV favourite Mary Jo Randle who played WDS Morgan in The Bill and also starred in Victoria Wood: As seen on TV, Midsomer Murders, Cutting It and The Lakes. Andrea, aged  50, has over 28 years NHS experience and is trained in specialised advanced beauty techniques. She said: “When I saw the word Botox in the title of the play I was immediately intrigued. “I love the way well written theatre portrays and incorporates people’s lives, as the audience can associate with the characters on stage.  In my job it’s really interesting to chat with customers and listen to the stories they have to tell!” “Big Pants and Botox”, from the pen of ‘Girls Night’ writer Louise Roche, tells the story of optimistic, loveable Barbara who has just celebrated a ‘significant’ birthday.  During the course of the show she takes us on a funny, intriguing and ultimately uplifting journey.  Along the way the audience meets numerous characters who play a part in her life from her overly critical mother, to her hilarious, slightly flawed group of female friends. People interested in buying tickets for “Big Pants and Botox” at The Phoenix Theatre, Blyth on Saturday 9th May at 7.30pm can contact the Box Office by calling 01670 367 228, online www.thephoenixtheatre.org.uk, in person Mon-Fri 10am-12.30pm / Sat 10am-2pm or on the evening of the performance. The Theatre is currently running a special offer of £10 tickets for telephone or personal callers only.  This is part of their 50th anniversary year celebrations - as they look to attract new audiences to the venue and get people to enjoy top quality theatre on their doorstep.  For further information about AB Medical UK please visit www.abmedicaluk.com Photograph: The attached photograph shows Andrea Bath of AB Medical UK administering a Botox injection to customer, Suzanne Godfrey, age 36 from Blyth…as Suzanne holds the oversized pair of big pants that promotes “Big Pants and Botox”. Image credit: Ian Jamieson.
