Crossword Genius

From rudely impatient indigenous people, pressure for start of entertainment (7,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

curtain up

'start of entertainment' is the definition.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Another definition for curtain up that I've seen is " start of play".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
