After a phenomenally successful tour in 2011, Casualty’s Rebecca Wheatley is hitting the road again in 2012 with her tremendous one-woman show, the tour-de-force that is ‘Big Pants & Botox’. Written by ‘Girls Night’ author Louise Roche the show has been thrilling its audiences up and down the country since June.
Rebecca is really looking forward to taking to the boards again. ‘I love it, love it, love it. The writing is so honest and painfully funny that the reaction we get from the audience is pretty unique. They really connect with the character Barbara and her friends and family.’
‘Big Pants & Botox’ is a tremendous blend of powerful writing and acting, as it leads the audience onto the emotional rollercoaster that is Barbra’s 50th birthday celebration. As so often with Roche’s writing the blend of humour and poignancy is to the forefront, as Barbra lets us into her big secret.
Part of the play was inspired by a true story Louise discovered whilst researching a TV documentary twenty years ago – the material was never used but has lingered in her imagination all this time, just waiting for the most appropriate format in which to present it.
The story she has woven and the character she has created are by turns hilarious, intriguing, and ultimately uplifting.
So if you have to empty your bladder before joining the kids on the trampoline, if you know a prolapse has nothing to do with structural engineering, and that the word ‘piles’ does not have to be followed by the word ‘of’, then you’ll be amused, delighted and even comforted by Louise Roche’s new play.
