[Quizmonkey]

6: Fox - Falstaff doesn't work (the clue AND the length!) - unless you can explain...

[Quizmonkey]

10 could be Fredrick as in two boys Fred and Rick (in As You Like It, set in the forest of Arden) - but it should be spelled Frederick...

8. Prospero

[shammydodger]

10. Benedick? (Much Ado About Nowt)

[Quizmonkey]

But Much Ado is set in Italy... also Benedick is not two boys...

[shammydodger]

6. Laertes (Hamlet) i.e. Set Real reversed.

[shammydodger]

No, but Ben and Dick are two small boys, about E (for Elizabeth). Can't explain the Forst reference though.

[Quizmonkey]

Apologies - I think you're right and Forst is a mistyping of First!

[FoxLee]

No Quizmonkey, I can't explain my answer other than to say I jumped in too quickly without regard to the length of the answer. I was thinking of Staffs but was way of beam. I see no-one else has come up with an answer for it yet.

[shammydodger]

Ahem, FoxLee :)

Whoops, time I made an appointment with my Optician. I scrolled down but just did not see that answer.
