'shakespearean setting' is the definition.
(Hamlet is set in Elsinore in Denmark)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elsinore that I've seen before include "wicked behaviour played out here?" , "Danish port, setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet" , "place in Hamlet" , "haunted castle?" , "setting for play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
