Shakespeare tragedy (7)
I believe the answer is:
othello
'shakespeare tragedy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for othello that I've seen before include "Shakespeare's tragic Moor of Venice" , "Dramatic work" , "Shakespeare's tragic Moor who killed his wife" , "He killed his wife Desdemona" , "Hello to Shakespeare's tragic hero" .)
