I give up. What could Hamlets father's name possibly be except King Hamlet or Ghost?!
Sorry I'm always late to the party. I wait till I get the mag in the mail which isn't until the Monday. Everyone else is probably half way through 2723 by now!

You want Act I Scene V, and it relates to the actor’s voice coming from below stage - apparently.

Blackcat5, and we weren't asked for 'his name', but how 'he was addressed by...' I've called my son many things over the years!

Thanks Malone. I've read the puzzle again. I had 3D as just being the son (which I now realise we were not asked for) and 18D as representing 2 words, one being the victims name, and the other being what the son called him. I'll get there!

Thanks jwf. I will apply myself, although I feel like I've read the whole b play at this point!

And completely off topic; has anyone here been a winner ever? And how many entries do you think they might receive each week?

And apologies for the fact that my first post probably divulged quite a few answers.

blackcat5 - I've won two or three times. The first time was in 2019 when I was able to get the Chambers Dictionary. There've been one or two cheques for £20 since then but I've stopped submitting since they went over to John Lewis vouchers.

In other news, I note that 225 will be blogging the Spectator puzzles in future. The first blog will be for 2723.

I've been a runner-up once. My son remarked, 'Don't spend all at once!'
