Arrange to see part in stage shows (9)
I believe the answer is:
operettas
'stage shows' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'arrange to see part' is the wordplay.
'arrange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to'+'see'+'part'='toseepart'
'toseepart' anagrammed gives 'OPERETTAS'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for operettas that I've seen before include "Performances" , "10d [IOLANTHE], 45d [RUDDIGORE] and 6a [PRINCESS IDA], say" , "Musical compositions as by Gilbert & Sullivan" , "Light musicals for poetaster" .)
