Line 2:

''Sweet Eros'' caused a sensation when it first opened in New York because its female star, [[Sally Kirkland]], was nude for nearly the entire length of the play, which lasts approximately 45 minutes. (Because of this play, Kirkland is generally credited with being the first actress to perform totally naked on the legitimate New York stage.) The man was played by [[Robert Drivas]], to whom McNally dedicated the work.

The most recent production of "Sweet Eros" was in Brisbane, Australia in May 2005 and featured Robert Braiden and Veronica Smith. The production was notable for its ultra-realistic depiction of a hostage situation and which also fully explored the themes of nudity.
