Crossword Genius

Play in small village (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hamlet

This clue is a double definition.

'play' is the first definition.
(play by William Shakespeare)

'small village' is the second definition.
(a hamlet is a small settlement)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for hamlet that I've seen before include "whose forefathers were rude, did Gray imply?" , "tragic role" , "Shakespearean tragedy" , "Village - tragedy" , "Tiny village; Prince of Denmark" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
