One creates drama from predicament besetting wife in Scottish town (10)
I believe the answer is:
playwright
'one creates drama' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'predicament besetting wife in scottish town' is the wordplay.
'predicament' becomes 'plight' ('plight' can be a synonym of 'predicament'**).
'besetting' is an insertion indicator.
'wife' becomes 'w'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'scottish town' becomes 'ayr' (I've seen this before).
'w' placed inside 'ayr' is 'aywr'.
'plight' enclosing 'aywr' is 'PLAYWRIGHT'.
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for playwright that I've seen before include "Will, say" , "Author of dramas" , "Dramatist" , "Stoppard or Pinter, for example" , "Coward, for example" .)
