Play part in booking learner (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

king lear

'play' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'part in booking learner' is the wordplay.
'part in' indicates a hidden word.
'KING LEAR' is hidden within 'booking learner'.

(Other definitions for king lear that I've seen before include "Shakespeare tragedy" , "Shakespeare's foolish, fond old man" , "Part of ruler" , "drama" , "Shakespearian royal tragedy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
