Drink and drive conveying a tense playwright (10)
I believe the answer is:
dramaturge
'playwright' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'drink and drive conveying a tense' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'drink' could be 'dram' (small alcoholic drink) and 'dram' is present in the answer.
'drive' could be 'urge' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'urge' is found within the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
'tense' could be 't' (abbreviation used in many dictionaries) and 't' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dramaturge that I've seen before include "playwright" , "specialist in theatre" , "one's ended up in theatre" .)
