Crossword Genius

Piece of Hollywood, epic theatrical show (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depict

'show' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'piece of hollywood epic theatrical' is the wordplay.
'piece of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'DEPICT' is hidden in the letters of 'hollywood epic theatrical'.

(Other definitions for depict that I've seen before include "Show by drawing" , "'Show, portray (6)'" , "Paint" , "Give a description of" , "Portray, represent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
