Three cheers for the alternate cassting! The wonderful manager of my local cinema had heard about the problems last week, and had kindly made it possible for me to see the Millerstein/Creaturebatch version.
My biggest worry going in was that the double casting had in fact been nothing but a money grab, and that Miller and Cumberbatch would be less than brilliant in their opposite roles. I can honestly say that this isn't something that should have worried me at all. Both actors approached the other role with the same ingenuity and creativity as in the original casting.
