Old woman satisfied US playwright (5)
I believe the answer is:
mamet
'us playwright' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'old woman satisfied' is the wordplay.
'old woman' becomes 'ma' (both can mean someone's mother).
'satisfied' becomes 'met' (as in 'met the conditions of his contract').
'ma'+'met'='MAMET'
Can you help me to learn more?
