18 Volcano (inferno potentially)???
(D)ante = Etna (An example of which turns in Dante's)

I suspect the u is an error or is superfluous.

Dante's peak was a disaster thriller about a Volcano

18 down should read "... turns up in . . . "

[klazomaniac]

That would make sense canary42

[Mamyalynne]

is 26a not 4 ?

Yawn

Way (Road) back + N(o)

[klazomaniac]

Could be Mamya. I was toying with U-turn. But can't work it anyway.

[klazomaniac]

Another i've been trying to work with is
That is = I.E (inside/boring) but again. Nothing.

[klazomaniac]

Evita (show [on Broadway])

It (sex) inside Ave (reversed)

[fiction-factory]

for 17a could the SEX be VI- they've used that within the last week or so

[fiction-factory]

Ok- the IT is right. So is there a show/story theme?

[klazomaniac]

Revolutionary roads is the Key I think FF

Like mamya's Yawn (Way backwards) +N

[klazomaniac]

And Ave(nue) Becomes Eva with IT inside.

[fiction-factory]

Thanks- yes I can see the roads key in the wordplay but wondered if there was a further theme as Dante's Inferno and Evita have been mentioned, but two isn't enough to go on I know and i haven't seen the others

[fiction-factory]

I think yawn is right - it'd be good if dreamer could call back

[klazomaniac]

Me neither. I'm Guessing at this stage. Mamya's Yawn parses very well. But I can't do anything with the 5 letters with the 'T' placed.

[fiction-factory]

I think dreamer may have given the pattern for 17a as the pattern for 26 in error

[klazomaniac]

Posts crossed. I'm a type slow. YAWN !

[klazomaniac]

Very possible.

[dreamer56]

Many thanks all. And sorry about the errors in my question.

[klazomaniac]

So 26 was 4 letters ???

Ps. Happy to help.
