Play away? It will turn into farce (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fornicate

'play away?' is the definition.
(fornicate could mean to cheat or 'play away')

'it will turn into farce' is the wordplay.
'it will turn' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters can turn into something else).
'into'+'farce'='intofarce'
'intofarce' anagrammed gives 'FORNICATE'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
