Many thanks, Lie-in King and jj109, it's done now.

A final read over prompts me to seek confirmation
for these two. Thanks again!
6(D) Drama – certainly not Anouilh’s last (3) : NOH
( Archaic negative for "No" )?
45(D) Pleasant Sunday afternoon climbing poplar (3): ASP
( Archaic for "aspen" = "poplar" ) ?
Noh (Japanese drama) - 'no' + '(Anouil)h' (last)
Asp (aspen; poplar) - 'P(leasant) S(unday) A(fternoon)' (climbing)

The "PSA" abbrev is in Chambers & one I've never heard of.

Thank you very much, Lie-in King! It's all quite clear!
You're welcome - it's a good day when one learns something new :-)
Matakari, sorry, but I'll have to take back my earlier congratulations. I was delighted when I thought you'd finished this one unaided! Still, you seemed to have enjoyed this puzzle and that's always good.
