Overactor parodies resting places (8)
I believe the answer is:
hammocks
'resting places' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'overactor parodies' is the wordplay.
'overactor' becomes 'ham' (I've seen this in another clue).
'parodies' becomes 'mocks' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ham'+'mocks'='HAMMOCKS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hammocks that I've seen before include "Hanging beds, suspended between two trees perhaps" , "Shock mam in swinging beds" , "supporters for lying" , "Hanging beds of canvas or rope network" .)
