Party is in best possible taste
For a group which is perpetually on the breadline, Live Wire Productions put on a mouthwatering spread of fine food to celebrate their 10 th birthday.
The high-class nibbles were prepared by teenager Robert Dawson, who has already cooked for First Minister Jack McConnell this year.
The 19-year-old Aberdeen College HNC student of the culinary arts was invited to cook a meal at Bute House in Edinburgh's Charlotte Square.
Live Wire managing director Vanessa Chew, a passionate Welsh woman from Pembrokeshire, paid tribute to all who had kept the show on the road over the decade.
"We have put on 1,000 shows in our time," she said proudly, "and reckon we have reached 78,000 people."
The company is a mobile theatre-in-education gropu which promotes health, citizenship and environmental issues through drama.
Lord Provost John Reynolds cut the birthday cake at Live Wire's new premises at 35 Regent Quay in Aberdeen.
