Thanks David W #24 & alsoclaire #25!
I agree somewhat with jouef #21 - lots of 'Googling' needed to get some of the answers but I really enjoyed doing it. Certainly some obscure stuff in here but also many great clues.
To create a crossword with a theme such as this and include so many references to the subject is an amazing feat; not just play titles and characters but answers such as Ronnie Scott and Dog-end shows how brilliant Araucaria is.
I think overall my favourite clue was 33d - superb!
