Sent to Coventry where burlesque co-stars die (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ostracised

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

'sent to coventry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'burlesque co-stars die' is the wordplay.
'co-stars die' anagrams to 'OSTRACISED'.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'where' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ostracised that I've seen before include "shunned" , "banished?" , "excluded from society" , "Sent to Coventry" , "out in the cold" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
