"Eros at Breakfast" was the 1st Prize Winner of the 9th edition of the National Playwriting Competition in 1947. For this premiere performance, the Workshop decided as an experiment not to announce the names of the players. The evening was adjudicated by Julia Murphy.

"Eros at Breakfast" was repeated on Jan. 22, 1948; the cast was announced on that date though Don Morin as Crito is listed as being new to the role. See Jan. 22 for further information on "Eros" at the EODL, Dominion Drama, and Edinburgh Festivals.
