Extempore performance pieces depict urns (10)
I believe the answer is:
unscripted
'extempore performance pieces depict urns' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'pieces depict urns' is the wordplay.
'pieces' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'pieces of' mean this (I've seen this in other clues)).
'depict'+'urns'='depicturns'
'depicturns' with letters rearranged gives 'UNSCRIPTED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for unscripted that I've seen before include "off the cuff" , "Impromptu" , "unexpected" .)
