I saw this double bill in Cambridge a few weeks back. The Browning Version is, in my opinion, a perfectly-formed play and was done full justice by this cast. Bowles of course magnificent, incredibly restrained and heart-wrenching but I also enjoyed Charles Edwards' performance a great deal (will be watching out for him from now on). Super set too. Only an-hour-and-a-bit but well worth the ticket money, which was just as well as Swansong is ridiculously short (about 20 mins) and most of the audience seemed bemused by there being an interval after it!
