Dramatic performer put on years in train crash (9)
I believe the answer is:
tragedian
'dramatic performer' is the definition.
'tragedian' can be an answer for 'performer' (tragedian is a kind of performer). I'm not sure about the 'dramatic' bit.
'put on years in train crash' is the wordplay.
'put on years' becomes 'aged' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'crash' indicates anagramming the letters.
'train' is an anagram of 'trian'.
'aged' going inside 'trian' is 'TRAGEDIAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tragedian that I've seen before include "Dramatist" , "actor in Macbeth?" , "Egad, I rant about actor in sad drama" , "Egad, I rant about dramatic actor" , "Serious actor" .)
