Float The Goat: A farcical look at Greek Life

by Katerina Nikolas

During a scorching summer in Astakos an over-the-edge near miss sees Quentin and Deirdre inadvertently kidnapping a goat, which reunites them with the philandering goat-herder, Pungent Pedros, still hung-up on his long ago rejection by Fotini. Toothless Tasos is planning a surprise wedding for the goddess of his dreams, whilst Bald Yannis lures Nitsa into his scheming plans to sabotage the grand opening of Stavroula’s tourist tat annex. Production of ‘Granny’s Traditional Greek Cure All’ gallops along, but Melecretes is more interested in embroidering cushions and removing his body hair than in seducing Evangelia. Will a new arrival in the village spell love for one of the regulars? Can Quentin find the pink flamingo in time? And will Thea ever say yes while dressed up as a meringue surprise? The saga of farcical life in the backwater fishing village of Astakos continues apace in the laugh-out-loud sequel to Goat in the Meze, Rampaging Roosters, Olive Virgins, Goatly Goings On and Greek Capers.
