...Craft Theatre on Brookline Avenue has also opened with one-acters, Martin Duberman's Metaphors and Terrence McNally's Tour and Sweet Eros, the latter having much nudity.

That didn't bother Martin too much, although it seemed to him that everybody was sitting on the other side of the room. Then the class was over...
