Re last message. It was published in May, and the clue was: Musical work from American playwright badly lacking spirit (6,6) e-g-n- o-e-i-

Eugene Onegin

Eugene Onegin

Thanks Mike B and Mamya. An opera composed by Chaikovsky, so I don't really get the word play, but at least I can now dispose of this xw. I have a backlog, and will no doubt be on here again!

American playwright is Eugene O'neill

badly (ill (eg ill thought of))lacking, leaves
"Eugene One"

add spirit = gin

Eugene Onegin.

Hope that makes sense, anyway this took ages to type so there is prob a clearer explantion already posted.

Thanks trevor. All makes sense now. Well worked out!
