Authority to produce script for listeners (5)
I believe the answer is:
right
'authority' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'produce script for listeners' is the wordplay.
'produce script' becomes 'write' (to write is to produce text or script).
'for listeners' shows a homophone (sound like) (I've seen 'for Listener' mean this).
'write' sounds like 'RIGHT'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for right that I've seen before include "Accurate" , "Fair or just" , "Equitable" , "Properly" , "True - just claim" .)
