Save theatre with regularly praised view (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reprieve

'save' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'theatre with regularly praised view' is the wordplay.
'theatre' becomes 'rep' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'praised'+'view'='praisedview'
The alternate letters of 'praisedview' are 'rieve'.
'rep'+'rieve'='REPRIEVE'

(Other definitions for reprieve that I've seen before include "Temporary relief from harm" , "Postponement of punishment" , "Save from execution" , "Postponement as of death penalty" , "Temporary relief, like stay on death sentence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
