He's avuncular in play
I believe the answer is:
'he's' is the definition.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for vanya that I've seen before include "'Uncle --', work of 19" , "Uncle making dramatic appearance" , "Uncle - - (Chekhov)" .)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
