Dramatist is wary, possibly put in dangerous situation (10)
I believe the answer is:
playwright
'dramatist' is the definition.
('playwright' can be a synonym of 'dramatist')
'wary possibly put in dangerous situation' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'put in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'dangerous situation' becomes 'plight' (I've seen this before).
'wary' is an anagram of 'aywr'.
'aywr' placed into 'plight' is 'PLAYWRIGHT'.
'is' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for playwright that I've seen before include "Coward, for example" , "Dramatist" , "Shakespeare perhaps" , "Coward, possibly" , "Stoppard or Pinter, for example" .)
