Perform play (4)
I believe the answer is:
give
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'perform' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'play' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for give that I've seen before include "Offer, elasticity" , "old-fashioned shackle" , "Donate or hand over" , "6" , "To yield; resilience" .)
