Say actor’s words with Shakespeare’s capital majesty (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stateliness

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'majesty' is the definition.
(I know that majesty can be written as stateliness)

'say actor's words with shakespeare's capital' is the wordplay.
'say' becomes 'state' (synonyms).
'actor's words' becomes 'lines' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'shakespeare's capital' becomes 's' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'state'+'lines'+'s'='STATELINESS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stateliness that I've seen before include "nobility" , "dignity" , "Dignified and imposing quality" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
