Crossword Genius

American in Yale intoxicated with posh theatres (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

playhouses

'theatres' is the definition.

'american in yale intoxicated with posh' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'us'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'intoxicated with' indicates an anagram.
'yale' with its letters anagrammed with 'posh' can make 'playhoes'.
'us' placed inside 'playhoes' is 'PLAYHOUSES'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
