Cuts made here where players work? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theatre

This might be a double definition.

'cuts made here' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'players work?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'where' is the link.

(Other definitions for theatre that I've seen before include "war zone" , "eg The Globe" , "The rate (anag.)" , "Location for plays and operations" , "Major area of military activity" .)
