From censor that "No” outrageous: lid put on popular play (3,2,1,3,3,4)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
cat on a hot tin roof
'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...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cat on a hot tin roof that I've seen before include "play - with 24a" , "Play by Tennessee Williams (3,2,1,3,3,4)" .)
