Play in the village (6)
I believe the answer is:
hamlet
I believe this is a double definition.
'play' is the first definition.
(play by William Shakespeare)
'the village' is the second definition.
('hamlet' can be a synonym of 'village')
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for hamlet that I've seen before include "Shakespeare's tragic Prince of Denmark" , "Dramatic prince of Denmark" , "The Dane" , "tragic role" , "Small village for Shakespearian prince" .)
