Dramatic works from poetaster to be rewritten (9)
I believe the answer is:
operettas
'dramatic works' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'poetaster to be rewritten' is the wordplay.
'to be rewritten' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'being rewritten' mean this).
'poetaster' with letters rearranged gives 'OPERETTAS'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for operettas that I've seen before include "10d [IOLANTHE], 45d [RUDDIGORE] and 6a [PRINCESS IDA], say" , "Performances" , "Light musicals for poetaster" , "Musical compositions as by Gilbert & Sullivan" .)
