Puzzle 33: There’s a Double Meaning in That

Another opening, another crossword… Yes, it’s Shakespeare time again (again). Starting tonight, Rochester Community Players will be presenting [57-Across in today’s puzzle]. As always, if you’re anywhere near Rochester this weekend or next weekend, please come by and see it.

As with the summer show, this is a production we were originally supposed to stage last year, but this is also a puzzle I’ve been thinking about for a long time, so I was glad to have an excuse to finally post it. This was another one of those instances where I came up with an idea, thought “how hard could this really be?”, and then found out it was, in fact, really hard to construct. Also, the only way I could make it work was to expand the grid to 19×19, which takes so much longer to fill than a 15×15 grid does. Anyway, I’m please with how it turned out, and I hope you all enjoy it.
