TAI (= Thai) + Hoe (as in Plymouth)

Thanks woodlouse. The ould brain is definitely getting creakier.

I think I must have gone wrong. For 30a I have ??US?F but can't find any word to fit.
Mate swallowing first bit of soup - made from this according to writer
Just a hint please or tell me if my letters are wrong. Thank you.

Hi cloverjo, the "f" is wrong.

Thank you, ginge.

OK. Full grid. Thematic shape. Person's name. Need an earlier work made from 19 letters, 9 of which are each a choice of two. With the letters I have it has to be an anagram but I'm at a loss. The name was prolific! Can I have an obscure pointer please to put me out of my misery? Year of work would probably do it.

Thanks!

I have to say that I didn't actually attempt the earlier work. I imagine that they are listed somewhere.

Are you sure that your interpretation of the preamble is correct?

I though it meant take all 10 of the extra letters in those clues where a letter is removed from the solution plus the 18 letters being the first and last letters of the 9 words.

So you have an anagram of 28 letters?

deulc, first performed in 1902

And your interpretation of the preamble is correct. A 19 letter anagram, of which 9 are "first or last", and 10 are known

I thought I had completed the grid correctly, and I have the quote and the two works. But when it comes to the diagonal name I have an "a" for the third letter of the first name where it should be an "r". Have I made a mistake with 7 Down, or is it only the surname which is shown ?
If anyone is passing by I'd be most grateful for any help.
Thanks.
