One Pinter play directed by fearless type (8)
I believe the answer is:
intrepid
'one pinter play directed by fearless type' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'one pinter play directed by' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'play' indicates an anagram.
'directed' becomes 'd' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'pinter' with letters rearranged gives 'ntrepi'.
'i'+'ntrepi'+'d'='INTREPID'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for intrepid that I've seen before include "'Brave, dauntless (8)'" , "Fearless, adventurous" , "Novel" , "Audacious" , "Bold" .)
