American playwright discussed on the beach? (6)
I believe the answer is:
ashore
'on the beach?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ashore that I've seen before include "in port?" , "On(to) dry land" , "Aground" , "On land (as opposed to the sea)" , "Toward land from the sea" .)
