Go and act (4)
I believe the answer is:
turn
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'go' is the first definition.
('turn' can be a synonym of 'go')
'act' is the second definition.
(theatre)
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for turn that I've seen before include "Sour" , "Start" , "fit" , "Rotate - go" , "Shape (using a lathe)" .)
