Presented as a double-bill with Witness.
Sweet Eros is a monologue delivered by a poet, with interruptions, in the form of sobs (at first), muffled protests (at first) and the croaking of a song, 'Plaisir d'Amour' (at the end).
The poet, a former mathematics teacher, has kidnapped a young woman and driven her to a remote house in the country. When we first see her she is gagged and tied to a chair. In the course of the action she is on the end of a non-stop spate of reminiscence, personal philosophy, sharp instruction and true confession and observation, many of them repulsive. Nothing her captor does stems the tide of his own conversation. He strips her bare then goes over her face with a magnifying glass. Eventually he frees her of gag and bindings, and takes her to bed. And, as time progresses, she minds less and less.
