Prepare to create a scene (8)
I believe the answer is:
rehearse
'prepare' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rehearse that I've seen before include "What actor does to prepare for play" , "Practice in theatre" , "prepare for performance" , "Practise like actor" , "Practise - run through" .)
