I've finished it, but there's one clue I don't get.
8d Boar's Head at Eastcheap, say, a subject for drama?

DOLLS HOUSE (Ibsen) is obviously the answer to the definition.

Doll's = Boar's, I assume (from Chambers )
but what is the relevance of Eastcheap here?

An explanation would be gratefully received!!

Thanks!

The Boar's Head Tavern, on Eastcheap, featured in historical plays of Shakespeare as a favourite of the fictional character Falstaff and his friends. It was the subject of essays by Oliver Goldsmith and Washington Irving. Established before 1537, but destroyed in 1666 in the Great Fire of London, it was soon rebuilt, and continued operation until some point in the late 18th Century. What remained of the building was demolished in 1831.

Thanks mamayalynn.
So the Boar's Head was Doll's House.
That's not a part of Shakespeare with which I'm familiar!
Lucky I knew about Ibsen, then! ;-)
