Crossword Genius

Go off and act (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turn

This clue is a double definition.

'go off' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'act' is the second definition.
(theatre)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for turn that I've seen before include "Rotate for a performer's act" , "Go - go round in circles - go off" , "Change direction" , "Go off - act" , "Transform - revolution" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
