Michael took a girl round the drama school (7)
I believe the answer is:
faraday
'michael took a' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'girl round the drama school' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'fay' ().
'round' indicates putting letters inside.
'the drama school' becomes 'RADA' (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art).
'fay' placed around 'rada' is 'FARADAY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for faraday that I've seen before include "English physicist and chemist, d. 1867" , "Scientist" , "unit" , "Man of note" , "Michael -, nineteenth century English physicist and chemist" .)
