The Browning Version (play) role of Crocker-Harris, with the run ending on 9 April 1949. Reviews were enthusiastic, with the play being hailed as "a 70 minute masterpiece." Decor by Paul Sheriff. In 1949 the play was performed on Broadway, opening on 12 October at the Coronet Theater on 49th street with Maurice Evans and Edna Best.

Peter Scott-Smith as John Taplow was the sole member of the West End cast to reprise his role on Broadway. Scenic
