Playhouses (8)

I believe the answer is:

theatres

(Other definitions for theatres that I've seen before include "Areas of operations" , "They're for surgery, drama and lectures" , "Performance areas" , "Spaces for surgery and drama" , "Buildings for dramatic art" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Mirror.
