Christmas chicken for playwright? (4,6)
I believe the answer is:
noel coward
'for playwright?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'christmas chicken' is the wordplay.
'christmas' becomes 'Noel' (Noel can mean Christmas).
'chicken' becomes 'coward' (similar in meaning).
'noel'+'coward'='NOEL COWARD'
(Other definitions for noel coward that I've seen before include "Old playwright" , "dramatist" , "He wrote" .)
