Shakespeare play seen in small village (6)
I believe the answer is:
hamlet
'small village' is the definition.
(a hamlet is a small settlement)
'shakespeare play' is the wordplay.
'shakespeare' becomes 'ham' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'play' becomes 'let' (let is a kind of play).
'ham'+'let'='HAMLET'
'seen in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hamlet that I've seen before include "DOG" , "Village for Shakespearean prince" , "Dramatic prince of Denmark" , "Tragic prince of Elsinore" , "Thelma (anag) - play" .)
