List of parts a repairman tossed out (8,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dramatis personae

'list of parts' is the definition.
(list of characters in a play)

'a repairman tossed out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'a'+'repairman'+'tossed'='arepairmantossed'
'arepairmantossed' is an anagram of 'DRAMATIS PERSONAE'.

(Another definition for dramatis personae that I've seen is " Characters in the play".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
