Merry Christmas to one and all. Could you give me some help with the perimeter please? I know the final three words are HAMLET WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE but not making much headway on the start.

Also looking for help with 22A Dentists' daughter eager her morning should be busy (8,7)
H?R?I?N / G?????? looks like HURRYING something

The dentists' daughter is Hermione Grainger from Harry Potter.
You are ahead of me for perimeter, but thanks for the start ( or end)

Don't know Hamlet well enough!
MacBeth was my major tragedy. Was trying to work pledge in as the starting word but no success so far.

PRO is a player who's paid, then anagram A BRIT around ONE; meaning trainee
