Stake money and present a stage production (5)
I believe the answer is:
puton
'a stage production' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'stake money and present' is the wordplay.
'stake money' becomes 'on' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'present' becomes 'put'.
'on' after 'put' is 'PUTON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
