Special Instructions: This is going to be printed in a programme to a show which relates to the puzzle's theme. One clue needs slightly specialised knowledge, but the audience is likely to have it. The deadline is tight (next week), so I haven't been able to spend as long on this as I'd like, but any feedback would be very gratefully received!
