Embarrassing display of emotion as part of play (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scene

I believe this is a triple definition!

'embarrassing display' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'of' is a link.

'emotion' is the second definition.
(scene is a kind of emotion)

'as' is a link.

'part of play' is the third definition.
(scene in a play)

(Other definitions for scene that I've seen before include "Panorama" , "Division of a play" , "Landscape; part of play" , "bit of an act" , "Picture" .)
