Drama with restriction on bad actor (6)
I believe the answer is:
hamlet
'drama' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'restriction on bad actor' is the wordplay.
'restriction' becomes 'let' (I've seen this in other clues).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'bad actor' becomes 'ham' (a ham is someone who overacts).
'let' after 'ham' is 'HAMLET'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hamlet that I've seen before include "DOG" , "Shakespearean tragedy" , "Danish king in play" , "Small village for Shakespearian prince" , "(Hero of) play" .)
