Description
This hilarious comedy broke attendance records and wowed audiences with 3 sold-out seasons in Sydney in 2008 and a sold-out season in Adelaide with Melbourne, Brisbane and Darwin to follow. Due to overwhelming demand, all your favourite characters have been revamped and are back funnier than ever. Alex & Eve is about a male version of Bridget Jones whose parents continually pressure him to marry – and she’d better be a Greek-Orthodox girl!
During the Euro 2004 Soccer Championship Tournament when Greece’s fortunes take a miraculous and mythical turn for the better Alex meets Eve, an attractive 30 year old investment banker. Despite insecurities on both sides, sparks fly, but before getting ahead of herself, Eve reveals to Alex that she is Lebanese ... Muslim. Alex confidently reassures her, and everyone around him, that he doesn’t have a problem with her religious background. But does he? In a reversal of roles Alex becomes the student seeking advice from his high-school students. His best friend Paul, a native Irish-Catholic, doesn’t help matters when he elaborates on the consequences of cross-religion marriages in Ireland.
To complicate matters, Eve’s parents have reached a breaking point with and step up the pressure on Eve to marry—and he better be a good Lebanese-Muslim man! At a time when Greek pride and patriotism rises with every Greece soccer victory, Alex and Eve must decide on what will win out? The power of national pride, patriotism, religion and cultural tradition? Or the power of love?
