Does only a bad one get a part in Hamlet? (5)
I believe the answer is:
actor
'does only a bad' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'one get a part in hamlet?' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'get' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'part in hamlet?' becomes 'ctr' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'ctr'='actr'
'o' put into 'actr' is 'ACTOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for actor that I've seen before include "One taking part" , "One in a play" , "One with role" , "Films/stage worker" , "Theatrical player" .)
