Musical play Toil adapted as Refugee Status (9,6)
I believe the answer is:
political asylum
'musical play itoili adapted' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'as irefugeei istatusi' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'as' could be 'ala' (French 'a la' - 'in the style of') and 'ala' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for political asylum that I've seen before include "refuge?" , "State protection" .)
