Scope for amusement (4)

I believe the answer is:

play

I believe this is a double definition.

'scope' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'for amusement' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for play that I've seen before include "Slack - performance" , "Theatrical performance" , "Hamlet, for example" , "stage production" , "Portray in a drama" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
