2010
Anna Livia and the Durty Big Eejits – Alive-O Productions created an original show which was performed as a Panto on the Liffey Cruise boat for Temple Bar Cultural Trust’s A Chocolate Christmas festival. The show was fully booked so another date had to be added. Even with the heavy snow and many other events being cancelled, the show was a huge success. Dublin City Council also had the show performed as part of their Christmas events in Wolfetone park (see footage in Videos).
