Crossword Genius

Extras, perhaps, in theatrical sequences (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

runs

This clue is a double definition.

'extras perhaps' is the first definition.
(extra is a type of run in cricket)

'theatrical sequences' is the second definition.
(run can mean a series of theatrical performances)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for runs that I've seen before include "Moves fast" , "ladders" , "Jogs" , "Points scored in cricket" , "Manages" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
