Entertainer switched to drama (7)
I believe the answer is:
matador
'entertainer' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'switched to drama' is the wordplay.
'switched' indicates anagramming the letters (letters switch places).
'to'+'drama'='todrama'
'todrama' with letters rearranged gives 'MATADOR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for matador that I've seen before include "Beastly fighting man" , "He kills the bull in formal fight" , "The one who kills the bull" , "Principal bullfighter" , "A Spanish bullfighter" .)
