Apparent conversation in play (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhubarb

(Other definitions for rhubarb that I've seen before include "Fruit - nonsense!" , "Actors' muttering to simulate conversation" , "Leafstalks usually cooked, sweetened and eaten in puddings" , "murmurings in the theatre" , "Garden plant with reddish leaf-stalks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
