Stage a new abridged production of The Cherry Orchard (4)
I believe the answer is:
gean
'the cherry orchard' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'stage a new abridged production' is the wordplay.
'GEAN' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gean that I've seen before include "fruit" , "wild F" .)
