Shakespeare character's mad speeches for reciting, following advanced national curriculum (11)
I believe the answer is:
rosencrantz
'shakespeare character's mad speeches for reciting' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'advanced national curriculum' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'advanced' could be 'rose' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'rose' is present in the answer.
'national' could be 'n' (abbreviation listed in Chambers) and 'n' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'following' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rosencrantz that I've seen before include "Elsinore courtier (Hamlet)" , "--- and Guildenstern are Dead (Stoppard)" .)
