Dancing with liberal dramatist? (5)
I believe the answer is:
gogol
'dramatist?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'dancing with liberal' is the wordplay.
'dancing with' becomes 'gogo' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'gogo'+'l'='GOGOL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gogol that I've seen before include "The Government Inspector author" , "Nineteenth century Russian author" , "Russian author/playwright" , "Nikolai ---, Gov't Inspector author" , "Dead Souls Russ. author" .)
