Play in twisted tree sporting something on your head (6)

I believe the answer is:

hamlet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'play' is the definition.
(play by William Shakespeare)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for hamlet that I've seen before include "Shak. play; village" , "Small village for Shakespeare prince" , "Danish role" , "The Dane" , "whose forefathers were rude, did Gray imply?" .)
