Yes, thanks, Rickye - I'm sure you're right. That gives me R,E,A,A,R,E and 3 unknowns. Rearrange looks likely. I'll leave detailed examination of the play until this afternoon...

Thanks Saoralba. The tip about the connecting name finally got me there. Like many, I suspect, my first attempt to follow the instruction was based on the wrong premise!

Meursault,

28 is REPORT
32 is SEBESTENS
33 is GIVES

Can someone tell me whether I should be looking in the Danish play or the Moorish one?

I'm really struggling with the last few clues, especially 9 & 29 across and 23, 24 & 27 down. Some hints would be most welcome.

Thanks Demeter, I was able to work backwards to a couple of those. I wonder how many people have completed this puzzle without use of anagram or one look sites...

Escuan, 9 deceived me for some time. The first word is the definition, as in 3 Down, in fact Latin for the same thing. 29 : the second word needs to be omitted (and will be useful later). New, S African golfer, ON.
23 also held me up for some time, I'd never seen TEAM used as MATCH. Ser is abbr. for series. 24 : Number one as in urine, Tom as in voyeur, 27 also took me a long time, though never should have done. Just think 'The Right' as in politics...
