Play rock 'n' roll hit, deprived of telephone use (10,5)

I believe the answer is:

heartbreak house

'play' is the definition.
(George Bernard Shaw play)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for heartbreak house that I've seen before include "Theatrical work" , "Play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
