A great response! Thanks to everyone for taking part. There’s a lot of counting required and I’ve run out of fingers, so I hope I’ve got my arithmetic right.
By my reckoning, there are still 2 votes yet to be cast, namely from paradigmshifter and jws, but I’d like to wrap things up now.
There were 45 clues set by 15 setters. Joint runners-up with 2 votes apiece are dorrien@47 and aristo@26. But the winner, with 4 votes, is fieryjack@12, with his magnificent:
“The Mad Hatter and Alice finally showed up here”.
Congratulations fiery, a well-deserved winner.
May I take the opportunity to wish a very happy birthday to mathprofrockstar and dorrien (mine’s on 10 May, if anyone fancies lobbing me a sympathy vote around that time).
I know this forum is filled with culture vultures, so my prize to you, fiery, in keeping (sort of) with this week’s word, is 3 scenes from Hamlet:

Thanks again, everyone, for making it such a terrific competition this week. And thanks also to Ethel, who always adds a little something.
Until next week, cheers.
