Well done your auntie, lumen

I've enoyed the thread (well, she would, wouldn't she? to misquote Mandy) and no-one has answered the car question yet.

malone, I was travelling in Italy with someone who called me Rosalind because I like the name! Unfortunately since deceased.

Brendan, loved Upstart Crow on TV

The answer to the car question came to me half an hour ago. Not dissimilar to the Dick one....but a bit more convoluted.
So, finished and I'm just about to enter - and will share the prize money with Quiztime of course. (Only kidding, didn't even know there was a prize.)

There's only one Part Three, Brendan.
It's clued a bit like Dick in the earlier clue.

But isn't Ford the fourth in list? The only play with a part three is H the sixth?

That is clever. (the car clue). Well done.

You must have met some very famous actors, lumen.
I've seen what I regard as some woeful productons at Stratford. I have in mind one play set in the time of samauri warriors (soldiers in Japanese dress) and another using a helicopter -only the sound and projection of the wings(!) in whichever play it is with a potential unmarried mother.)
Best Lizzie's raincoat I saw was one where weapons ripped through the castle walls -unlikely though that is it certainly produced an atmosphere of a battle.

Ford is the sixth word in the clue. I’m not saying it’s a brilliant clue. It does fit into the jigsaw grid provided.
Rosalind, I think I was also working on that version of the Scottish play you mention. Huge spears crashed through the walls, narrowly missing the ‘hero’.
I wasn’t involved with the other two, I think helicopter was in a Much Ado. I’m stuck for a Japanese setting one, except a Cymbeline, which was rather good in my view. These are all late 80s to late 90s I think.
