Sorry about the delay in posting the review. I have spent most of the day digging in the garden and am now as stiff as a board! When I have the energy, I will add some pictures but here are the hints and solutions.

Welcome back to Heiroglyph with a different kind of crossword. I have to admit that alphabetical jigsaws are not my cup of tea but I did enjoy this one. The clues were all relatively gentle and fitting them into the grid was not at all difficult.

Welcome back to Hieroglyph with an excellent crossword. All the across clues have a theatrical theme in the wordplay (if not in all of the answers). Knowing the theme is not essential to solving the clues themselves.
My favourites are highlighted in blue below.

Hieroglyph makes a return to the NTSPP with a themed crossword. All of the across clues’ answers relate to the theme of {CHEESE}. The trick with this type of theme is to make the answers easily solvable from the wordplay so that even if the answer is a word of which you have never heard, you can be reasonably confident that you have arrived at the right answer before checking it. Here, I think Hieroglyph has succeeded.
Favourite clues are highlighted in blue.
