cat on a hot tin roof

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'play' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from censor that no outrageous lid put on popular' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
'censor' could be 'cato' (ancient Roman censor) and 'cato' is found in the answer.
'no' could be 'o' (resembles 0 - 'no' can mean 'zero') and 'o' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'that' is 'ahtt' which is within the remaining letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
