2dn fits into the first word, and gives a man's name, who appears in the play

I must be very thick - I have checked the cast of King Lear and I still can't see it.
It is an American city isn't it?

He is there - a pseudonym used by Edgar.

re 7d, if I have the correct answer, you might think "civil disobedience" to make the passage make sense.

Is 17a an uncommon word? I have something in there, but I can't find a definition for it.

This is an amazing thread, btw...

snowball - if you read the wikipedia synopsis all will become clear

yonah - 17a is a common word

If there are no other takes on 7dn, I'm done.

Thanks ixion! Got it now. This puzzle has twisted my brain so much that I suffered a temporary bout of prepositional impairment!

Thank you peterm and andyk. Got it at last.

PeterM, 7D reads perfectly well if you don't have a gap after 'ff' and do put a gap after the 'd'. You can't have a participle because you need the 'g' for 'good'.

Thanks RonH, but that's exactly what I've been doing. Yes, it reads OK, but the completed passage just doesn't make much sense.
