In A Parthenon On Our Roof, we meet Alexandra, a product of Greek Fire. Born into the cradle of civilization. Weaned on the teachings of ancient Greek philosophers, thrilled by the bravery of Spartans and thousands of years of cultural heritage.
Peter, her future husband, a tea drinking, digestive dunking product of British society. Working to make a living, no real ambitions or dreams. But then, he fell in love and everything changed.
Nothing can go wrong, right?
A Parthenon On Our Roof follows Alexandra’s quest to transform Peter from a typical stiff upper lipped Brit into something resembling an Achilles type character with sharpened sword and wits to match. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes embarrassing, Peter’s transformation opened his eyes to the world around him and changed his outlook on life forever.
