Emotional display that's part of an act? (5)
I believe the answer is:
scene
This clue might be a double definition.
'emotional display' is the first definition.
'scene' can be an answer for 'display' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'emotional' bit.
'that's part of an act?' is the second definition.
('scene' is part of 'act')
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scene that I've seen before include "Pleasant view or public quarrel" , "Locality; embarrassing emotional display" , "Location; outburst" , "Where things happen" , "Histrionic incident" .)
