Playwright appearing in Bangor tonight (5)
I believe the answer is:
orton
'playwright' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in bangor tonight' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ORTON' can be found hidden inside 'bangor tonight'.
'appearing' is the link.
(Other definitions for orton that I've seen before include "Joe -, dramatist (Entertaining Mr Sloane)" , "Joe -, English playwright" , "British dramatist Joe, noted for black comedies" , "Joe -, Eng. dramatist" , "Joe ---, Loot playwright" .)
